September's Ruby is Out and Full of Inspiration

Hi friends, The September 2018 issue of RUBY  magazine is out and full featuring inspirational articles and poetry, short stories and book reviews, recipes and crafts, and seven days of devotionals.
I'm busy getting ready for our Thursday Favorite Things party coming up on Thursday morning, but I love to take time to read my like minded friends wonderful offerings. I hope you will find it a Blessing to you, as well.

Be sure to check out Judith's Seven Days of Devotionals! I am so in love  with the ministry that this little magazine provides for Christian women!

How Music Speaks To Us

Certain things just ring true.  Does that happen to you?

Sometimes they ring so true,  I have a deep need to share them.  My faith sung out loud is one of those things. Not just any song.  There are some songs, though, whose truth so reflect the feelings in my heart,  that they can bring a smile to my face that can't be wiped away,  or bring tears of utter Joy.

(source)
This is one of those songs.  I hope that it will light up your Friday night or anytime that you choose to hear it.  Not just listen, but hear.  Words have power.  I don't think anyone would question that.  So,  I guess, then,  the question really is...... are we listening to the right words?  I'm trying. I fail. Still, I try.
