day 24 - post your favorite quote or verse of scripture and why

I have a few... :)

"If you're going to do something STUPID don't follow it up with something SILLY!" ~ Husband
I think this one is pretty self-explanitory. It's really just good common sense. :)

"10 minute walk, 5 minutes to get there" ~ LJC
This is just funny. This is JUST my BFF and this is JUST something I think about when I'm running late for things and seems to happen more often now with Minnie :)

1 Corinthians 13:1-8
1 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.


I know this is used in EVERY wedding right now and ANYTIME anyone says ANYTHING about love and the Bible but it really IS my favorite passage. There is something in this scripture EVERYDAY that I can work on, that I can tweek and that I can pay attention to. It is what I strive to be in my friendships, my mothering and as a wife.
