“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” ~ Philippians 4:8
First I would like to thank Sallie at A Gracious Home to allow me to host this week’s Carnival of Beauty. As you know by now, Philippians is my favorite Epistle lesson in the New Testament. This week we have 8 wonderful ladies and myself joining the “Carnival Circus”. I am thrilled to announce that we have some ‘newcomers’. It is always such a blessing to find new reads, isn’t it. I hope you are as blessed as I was reading this week’s posts on the Beauty of Philippians…
- Jennifer, at Snapshot, examines her own Parenting in Philippians and remembers Who is really in control.
- Nicole, at ‘The Girl Next Door‘, talks about the peace of God that transcends all understanding she experienced when her mom was diagnosed with cancer.
- Like all growing Christians, Gina over at Portrait of a Writer…Interrupted is a WIP! A Work In Progress. And her favorite book of the Bible, Philippians, has been the perfect road map in helping her continue on her journey until the day of completion in Christ Jesus.
- Janice from 5 Minutes for Mom reflects on Paul’s Infectious Joy and her favorite way to read Philippians.
- Michele of Life Under the Sun looks at our citizenship in heaven and standing in the presence of God.
- Keziah, at A Woman who Fears the Lord, is sharing her thoughts on her favorite book ~ Philippians; probably because it was the first book she properly studied when she became a Christian. There is so much in the book, but Keziah is mainly focusing on the verses referring to joy in her post My Joy and My Crown. What is this joy that Paul is talking about?
- Over at Crickl’s Nest, Christie is remembering how a promise in the book of Philippians changed her view of God’s peace and created depth in her spiritual walk. Practicing Peace is the only option when walking through the hard times of life.
- Paul is held captive away from those he longs to encourage. Through reading his letters to the church at Philippi, Blair notes that we too can have Freedom in Chains.
- Forgiveness is the easy part for Iris at Sting My Heart. But there is a harder part than forgiveness. Read her post To Forgive is Easy about the harder part of forgiveness.
Thank you ladies for making this carnival once again a beautiful one :razz:.
Thanks so much for hosting Iris. Looking forward to reading everyones!
Thank you for hosting Iris! What a great line-up! I’ve already read them all and it was truly a blessing….as usual.
I am looking forward to visiting the “carnival” and reading everyone’s post. I wish I had been more on top of things to participate….I am in the middle of wrapping up summer semester and getting my prep work done for Fall…hope to join in the next one. I’m off to the “carnival”….have a great day!
Thanks for hosting. Can’t wait to read through all of them. And, re your comment on my site–I am hosting in September!
Indeed just a beautiful carnival!
Beautiful, thanks. I’m off to read Philippians!
This is lovely! Thanks for hosting this and for everyone who has written on here. I am really inspired by ‘A Gracious Home’ who says this was the first book she memorised. I really love this book so I might have a go at this.
