"Words" - to make up for yesterday's lack of post, here are some verses from Psalm 119! God's words are encouraging, life-changing, and something I am very thankful for!
From God-homeschooling, dresses-homemaking, crafts-cooking, dancing-siblings, A homeschooler's point of view!

30 Days of Love: Day 18
1 Thessalonians 5:11
Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.
Encourage them today! Remind them how proud you are of them. A few words go a long way. They may be remembered for a long time.

30 Days of Love: Day 4
Proverbs 13:23
To make an apt answer is a joy to a man,
and a word in season, how good it is!
and a word in season, how good it is!
Take some time today to encourage and compliment them. Whether it's as simple as giving the a high five, and reminding them how cute they look, your words are precious to them. :~)

A Blank Post
As I sit here typing: I am marring the stillness of a blank post.
Keys typing black letters upon a stark white, blank post.
Blank posts make one feel refreshed.
Yet now this post is not blank.
This post is starting to be filled.
Filled with words, thoughts, hopes, and dreams.
That is what has occurred to my blog.
I started off with a blank post.
And then I started to fill the blog with words, thoughts, hopes and dreams.
I never knew I'd still be blogging this.
I never knew that this would be one of the best things I've decided to keep doing.
Yet the blank post that started it all, is no longer blank.
It it is marred with love, family, friends, thoughts, dreams, hopes, and words.
Now it's no longer marred.
Now it's beautiful.
Now it's no longer blank.
Now it's filled with love.
Sometimes a blank post is all you need.
