Hello Mandy! I 'discovered' Zephaniah 3:17 several months ago... and it has become a favorite of mine, also. Each line of that verse just speaks love. (o: Thank you for sharing these!
ReplyDeleteAm happy to have a way to contact you -- I've been researching my family history for several years now, and I believe that we might share some common ancestors...here in Iowa. I'd enjoy visiting with you via email when you have time. Thanks, Mandy!
