  2. A wonderful scripture anytime of year, but especially today. The card I gave my dad today had this scripture in it. He has Alzheimer's and lives in a memory support unit. Thanks for visiting from the blog hop today! Glad to meet you!

My Father's Word

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud, it is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices in the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." Love never fails
