In these little loves...

and in God's Truth.

I had printed all of these (and several more) for my dad. But I'm finding them to be of great comfort to me as well.


Jeremiah 17:7

Romans 12:12
Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

2 Corinthians 4:16-18

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Philippians 4:6
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God

Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always.
