Thanks, Brenda, for sharing beautiful words.
ReplyDeleteThanks Brenda. I'm familiar with these words, but right now I needed a reminder.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful collection of words reflecting God’s love and care. Thank you, Brenda
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, life-affirming words. I love the Hebrew words Hesed and Shalom.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Brenda J. Wood, for sharing these beautiful words. After reading your post, I did research on the first word, the Jewish word, Hesed. I know I've previously read these words you've given us, ,or I've read about them, but your post inspired me to study this more. I searched online for the story behind Hesed, which is an almost all-encompassing word description of God and who He is to us. I hope to refer back to this. Thanks, Brenda, for your post.
