Welcome to the House of Hope……….
I have been so touched by the love messages of Karen Friday, Shari Johnson and Pastor Reed Redus of the First Baptist Church of Santa Fe. Karen and Shari posted their messages here at FGGAM. I heard Pastor Reed last Sunday at his Church along with Pastor Glen Strock and family.
Here is some of what Karen posted:
Words to Boost Our Love
1.) “I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you.” ― Elizabeth Barrett Browning
2.) “Love is not affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person’s ultimate good as far as it can be obtained.” ― C. S. Lewis
3.) “Vows give love a chance and create stability so the feelings of love, always very fitful and fragile, can grow strong and deep over time.” ― Timothy Keller
4.) “Our culture says that feelings of love are the basis for actions of love. And of course that can be true. But it is truer to say that actions of love can lead consistently to feelings of love.” ― Timothy Keller
5.) “Love doesn’t erase the past, but it makes the future different.” ― Gary Chapman
