“Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
~ Philippians 4:4-7 (ESV ~ emphasis mine)
If you have been visiting my blog for a while, you will have noticed that I quote often from the book of Philippians. It is my favorite epistle lesson from Paul.

- I am thankful for Christian artists that take their ‘job’ serious and base most of their music on Scripture passages. Those songs put joy into my heart…
- I am thankful that I will be hosting IOW next week. I always enjoy reading different takes on the same quote. Come back Friday to find out which quote I have picked…
