Bite of Bread Reading Plan: Verses to Bless Your Heart

Bite of Bread Feb 15

 

It’s been a really cold week on the East Coast. Really cold. Thus, this week I made a Bite of Bread image that makes me think of spring, sort of. Do you see the spring? I’m not  very patient for it. I blame that on growing up in the South.  I was ready for spring once Valentines Day passed. And it usually did.

I have a sign in my kitchen about the South. It says:

The place where. . . 1) Tea is sweet and accents are sweeter. 2) Summers start in April. 3) Macaroni and cheese is a vegetable. [Can I get an amen?!] 4) Front porches are wide and words are long. 5)Pecan pie is a staple. 6) Ya’ll is the only proper noun. 7) Chicken is fried and biscuits come with gravy. 8) Everything is Darlin’. 9) Somebody’s heart is always being blessed. “

 

Well, my friends, as I look forward to spring and try to be patient, there is something this Southern gal can do. I can “bless your heart” with scriptures that fill you with hope, favor, promise, and worship. I’ve written them out this week, but I hope you will enjoy each verse one day at a time. Grab your journal. There’s just something about making the effort to write down each eternal word.
