Liebster Award 12.20.17

Lord, what a nice Christmas gift… to receive… and to share. Thanks to You using Little Miss Bear Paw of Family by Faith, I am blessed to both receive The Liebster Award she has nominated me for, and to share with other bloggers.leibster-award-2Little Miss Bear Paw is a fervent student in Your Word, posting as she reads through each chapter in the Bible within a year. It is challenging enough to read the Bible through in a year, but to sit down and type it word for word, and adding her own notes to help readers understand is very commendable. She is rightly dividing Your word. She is making disciples while being a disciplined student herself. Teaching by example.

 

Thank you, Little Miss Bear Paw! God loves you! Merry Christmas!
PS. Congrats on your own Liebster!

    1. Piers, That is more than okay! So awesome to read your answers. No candy canes? wow. I never realized some people don’t have them. Remind me what country you are in again? I am glad He forgives and forgets too. Thank you for doing the award. If you ever get another one, you don’t have to do anything you don’t want. It is just one blogger telling another one they appreciate their blogging and then putting a link to their page so others can visit it.
