That is vacation enough for me folks!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Today, Mason and I celebrate our 14<sup>th<\/sup> wedding anniversary, so today\u2019s post is from last year. I pray that God will bless you abundantly.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Grace and peace be yours in abundance,<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Donna<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cLove Never Fails\u201d \u2013 Monday Musical Musings<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Today is our 13th wedding anniversary. So the song I\u2019ve chosen for today is a love song! Actually, one of my favorite love songs because the lyrics come straight from Scripture!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Mason and I have enjoyed Jim Brickman\u2019s music from the beginning. He\u2019s a northern Ohio guy who has made it big with his love songs. We\u2019ve been to several concerts and I have even sat at a piano that Mr. Brickman played (I did a sound check prior to his arrival\u2026that\u2019s another story).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When Mr. Brickman began arranging Christian music, my soul was touched. His arrangements of older hymns and recent praise music are delightful.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve always been drawn to music that uses Scripture as text. It\u2019s so easy to memorize a verse when music is added! Today\u2019s music choice brings an entire chapter to life!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You may not find romantic love in this world, but let me remind you that God\u2019s love for you is far greater than anything this world could offer. These verses from 2 Corinthians 13 paints a picture of God\u2019s love for each of us. How beautiful to be loved by God in this way. Today might be the perfect day to read 2 Corinthians 13 again.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So today, I wish my husband Mason a happy anniversary and I share with all of you the song, \u201cLove Never Fails.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Love Never Fails&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Love, love is patient, love is kind<br \/>\nLove, does not worry, does not boast<br \/>\nIt is not proud, it is not rude, it is not easily angered<br \/>\nLove keeps no record of wrongs<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Love never fails, never fails<br \/>\nI promise you, my love will never fail<br \/>\nAnd I will give to you<br \/>\nFaith, hope and love<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Love does not delight in evil<br \/>\nLove will always protect<br \/>\nAlways trust and always hope and it will persevere<br \/>\nLove rejoices in truth<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Love never fails, never fails<br \/>\nI promise you, my love will never fail<br \/>\nAnd I will give to you<br \/>\nFaith, hope and love<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But the greatest of these is love<br \/>\nI&#8217;ll give you love<a href=\"#_edn1\" name=\"_ednref1\">[i]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hls8HB7Nqjw\">here <\/a>to listen to this beautiful tune!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Grace and peace be yours in abundance,<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Donna<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ednref1\" name=\"_edn1\">[i]<\/a> \u201cLove Never Fails,\u201d Music by JS Bach, Text 2 Corinthians 13, Arranged and adapted by Amy Sky and Marc Jordan, Latte Music and Rhythm Fish Music, 2002.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Yes, I\u2019m on vacation.
