So encouraging. I’ve kept it bookmarked to use later 😉
Phil you are so right how we underestimate our impact on others. One reason why I love It’s a Wonderful Life movie’s message.
Alida, I want to hear the birds chirping again. I have lots outside my window with the feeder this cold snowy winter but they aren’t chattering much – YET> spring is coming.
Thanks for visiting and commenting!!
I love this… where we live now there are a lot of birds constantly chattering and singing. I pray that we would all be bold enough to use the gifts and talents that God has graced everyone of us with.
Love it… Great quote Jean!
I think sometimes we all underestimate the impact our contributions may make in other peoples’ lives. We should never avoid giving from the storehouse of gifts that God has bestowed on each of us. 🙂
Have a Blessed Day Dear Lady!
