A NEW YEAR FOR SHARING

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. I appreciate so much all the nice comments you have made this past year. You are all so encouraging to me.  It's hard to believe it has been 3½ years since Ginger and I started this blog. I'm forever amazed at the great variety of inspirational posts you all share and I'm looking forward to this new year. I pray the Lord's blessings for each and every one of you.

If you have never linked a post here and would like to, you will find information under the header picture by clicking Linking Info. I always like to emphasize that everyone is invited to share with us.

P.S. One reader requested that I put an e-mail link on SS. So, there it is at the top of the sidebar. You can put your e-mail address there and you will be notified whenever there is a new post on this blog. I'm happy for the suggestion. I really hadn't thought about it before. If you have suggestions on how to improve this blog, I hope you will let me know. I don't guarantee I will do it, but I will consider it. Thanks.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Everyone will be especially busy this weekend since Christmas comes on Sunday. I suspect there will be fewer links but who knows ― there may even be more. When you visit the various links I hope you will take the time to leave a comment so they will know you were there.

We received an interesting comment last week. It came from India. Hari said "Am not spiritual only on Sunday but every single day." I think that is a good point. We call this blog Spiritual Sundays but obviously we need to be spiritual every single day, not just on Sunday. Hari didn't enter a link but he left a link to his blog in his comment. Hari is searching, and mostly what he finds in India is Hinduism. You might want to visit his blog. Look at last week's comments. It's the very last one.

Again, I want to wish each and every one of you a very Merry Christmas.

WELCOME FRIENDS

Hey, did you notice Spiritual Sundays has 406 followers now? I remember not too long ago we were looking forward to number 400. More people shared with us last week than have shared in several weeks. I'm glad new people are discovering this blog and "old" people are being so faithful to share. Many are sharing Advent posts as our minds are on Christmas and the coming of Christ to the earth. I'm glad that so many are not only writing about His birth, and his first coming as a baby but are also writing about His second coming which is obviously getting closer with each passing day. Thank you, everyone, for all the inspiring posts you share. There is information about linking under the header picture if you have never linked here before and would like to do that.

WELCOME BACK AGAIN

Yes, it's time to start sharing again. Randy Alcorn shared this picture on facebook. I wanted to share it with you. I think it is a great illustration.

He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: but they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. - Isaiah 40:29-31 (KJV)

WELCOME BACK

I can't believe how quickly the weeks fly by. Christmas is almost here. Wasn't it just the 4th of July a few days ago? Seems like it. So now it is time to share again. Some of you have been so faithful to share every week or at least almost every week. Others have just recently discovered this blog and have begun to share. As I've said many times before, everyone is welcome. Each of you blesses my life and the lives of countless others by what you share each week. If you would like to share but have not done so before, you will find linking info under the header picture.
