Scripture of the Week: Romans 12:10

Happy Thursday Friends :)

I pray this week finds you all in good health and good spirits, and I want to thank you all for joining me (Kirby) here on the Preppy Book Princess for another edition of Scripture of the Week.

I don't know about all of you but lately the selfishness that has become so apparent in our world has really been wearing on me. It seems like in this time where we all need to be doing our best to help one another out, the me me me mentality has become even more pronounced, and as Christians, we all need to be better than this.

We all have our bad days and none of us are supposed to try and be perfect, but we need to do our best to be there for one another and to encourage one another.

Romans 12:10 says:

"Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves."

This verse speaks of an important truth that we all need to remember-it's not all about us, we need to be putting others first, and doing our best to build each other up in Christ.

As Christians we are called to love and serve, and I hope that we can all remember this in the days going forward.

Thank you all for joining me for another scripture of the week, and I hope you all have a great weekend.

Next week I'm going to be talking about some of the verses that help me when I feel like I'm in the middle of a spiritual warfare battle in the hope that they will help all of you to when you go to battle with the enemy. Until then, I pray you all have a great rest of your day, and

God Bless!

First Line Friday: Carolina Breeze

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you're all having a great week! Mine has actually been pretty good. We've had some really nice days, and my husband and I were finally able to put our garden in, and various flowers and the like. We've also had a couple of lovely, rainy days as well, and I love how green everything is looking in our yard right now.

First Line Friday: Courting Mr. Emerson

Happy Friday Everyone :) Since it is Friday, I'll once again be participating in First Line Friday which is hosted by Hoarding Books . For this week, I'm going to be sharing the first line from Melody Carlson's newest book, Courting Mr. Emerson. About The Book: When the fun-loving and spontaneous artist Willow West meets buttoned-up, retired English teacher George Emerson, it's not exactly love at first sight. Though she does find the obsessive-compulsive man intriguing. Making it her mission to get him to loosen up and embrace life, she embarks on what seems like a lost cause--and finds herself falling for him in the process. A confirmed bachelor, George vacillates between irritation and attraction whenever Willow is around--which to him seems like all too often. He's not interested in expanding his horizons or making new friends; it just hurts too much when you lose them. But as the summer progresses, George feels his defenses crumbling. The quest
