SCRIPTURE MEMORY MONDAY. . .40 Days of Love. . .What Matters Most. . .2 Days til my Blogiversary Giveaway. . .Beautiful Weather of All Kinds!. . .

It's in between the 1st & 15th, or actually between the 15th & the 1st, but it IS

Scripture Memory Monday, because our church began 40 Days of Love last night, so I guess I will be trying to work on at least one simple verse every week, now.

The main verse for this week is:

I Corinthians 16:14

NLT

"Everything you do must be done with love."

NIV

"Do everything in love."

I repeated that verse with my pastor last night, then wrote it out this morning, prayed it, and meditated on it all day, and thought about it as I tried to teach, tried to reach my hard to reach students.

Following is the lyrics to a song that was sung at the church service last night,

"WHAT MATTERS MOST"

Filling this verse with superlative words

Making the most clever rhymes

Wouldn't amount to much

Just wouldn't count for much

If you can't read between lines

But I have discovered

I've finally uncovered

A most significant thing

It's a noble theme

What matters most

Is how much we love

What matters most

Is how much we give

What would it matter

If we just lived

Without loving our God

Without loving each other

Faith, hope and love, especially love

That's what matters most

What matters most

Once just a girl

In a curious world

Learning the meaning of life

Tell me what is the reason

And why do the seasons keep turning

The pages of time

I had to discover the things from above

For the days turn so quickly to years

Then they disappear

Not money, not power not fame or position

Don't want it, don't need it

don't give me religion

All I wanna hear All I wanna see All I wanna read about is

All I wanna live

All I wanna know

All I wanna be about is Love,

what matters most

Givin' love, what matters most

What matters most

Is how much we love

What matters most

Is how much we give

What would it matter if we just lived

Without loving our God

Without loving each other

What matters most is

How much we love

Setting our sights

On the needs of our brother

Loving our neighbor as we love ourselves

We give to the Lord

When we give to each other

Faith, hope and love, especially love

Faith, hope and love, especially love

That's what matters most

What matters most

God's love for us is just so amazing. If we just let it overflow from our hearts to others, it is so amazing what LOVE can do!

I have really enjoyed our Oklahoma weather this past week. Last week was beautiful Spring weather, then on Saturday, the "First Day of Spring", God gave us a beautiful snow again! Then today, it is "beautiful Spring" again! Just so incredible the change from yesterday to today, but both days were beautiful pictures, the snow and the flowers!
