(As is your year in review above this post!) you have such a wonderful spirit about you and it&#39;s clear to anyone who comes over that God speaks to us here. (I love the picture of the Legos that goes along with &quot;patience.&quot;) Your blog is a spiritual shot in the arm. xoxo<br />Happy New Year and many, many blessings in 2012.Vivienne @ the V Spothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11423346418730195821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-80005812499254089022011-12-28T12:43:14.908-05:002011-12-28T12:43:14.908-05:00Thank you for your words.

We are all so blessed by the gift of His son!<br /><br />I was blessed by my 58 yr. old brother Dan accepting Jesus this Christmas! He had a quadruple by-pass less than two weeks ago, and he is staying with us recuperating. He was very anxious, and wasn&#39;t doing good at all on Christmas Eve...and we all had a melt down, and called the doctor, because he was so agitated. But then he finally calmed down. Then the next morning on Christmas...after watching a preacher on tv, ...He Got Saved!! <br /><br />Then when we had our family gathering on the 26th he told us all that he had given his life to Jesus! Isn&#39;t that awesome? It was a tearful...but happy Christmas! Now we are praying for his full recovery.<br /><br />I know you know all about heart surgeries...and can sympathize. I am praising God for the surgery that He did on Dan&#39;s heart, since he had rejected Jesus for many years....and now is praising Jesus for His love!Lindahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17751356958497450109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-72424721695877847792011-12-27T09:36:46.096-05:002011-12-27T09:36:46.096-05:00Thank you for that wonderful reminder! I&#39;ve been enjoying a WholyFit routine lately that includes the fruits of the spirit, and it is so good to dwell on these gems that are giving to us so freely, but that we can often fail to pass along to others.- Let&#39;s keep on re-gifting!!Kristinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02207023707994396637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-73050220254319566772011-12-27T08:28:10.552-05:002011-12-27T08:28:10.552-05:00No other gift in thew world is worth all of those! :-) I hope you had wonderful family time this season.Nadir@StitchSensehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09200990106317248545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-47484318614800023642011-12-27T00:56:45.185-05:002011-12-27T00:56:45.185-05:00Not an original comment, but this is a beautiful post.

The fruit of the Spirit is what we are promised as we abide in Him. And what a wonderful gift that is. It is lasting and continues to grow, not like many of the material gifts we may receive. I love this post and your photos are simply beautiful.<br /><br />Blessings and love,<br />DebbieDebbiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08235978883396499354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-85984780082829856942011-12-26T10:02:23.047-05:002011-12-26T10:02:23.047-05:00the promise is so good. thank you for the reminder! and i am so happy that you had all 5 for christmas!Dawnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03037135437820258553noreply@blogger.com
