Thanks for the comment, Kami. 🙂 “You are worth loving and your life is worth living” is a very simple phrase, but with such a punch of power. I think it’s especially meaningful for those who battle chronic illness and simply want to “give up.” Much love & blessings to you!
I absolutely love each and every one of these! I am pinning them to my quotation board on Pinterest for later encouragement. I love #6. Isn’t it wonderful that Jesus truly understands our plight. Thank you for your recent visit to my little blog, for reading my story and for your kind comment. I am so happy to have found your beautiful blog! Blessings, Valerie
