Oh, and what a great insight you have into why we choose the words we do.

The combination of words and pictures makes me smile!<br /><br />Your granddaughter is so cute and I LOVE her outfit!!!<br /><br />When I saw the word you chose I thought, "How could she be any more focused on LOVE? She's one of the most conscientiously loving people I know!" Then, it hit me! Possibly the words we choose tell us more about who we already ARE than we know or even realize...<br /><br />The two words I chose for 2012 are 'Order' & 'Expansion'. Thank you for asking.

I was reflecting instead of what 'image' I am before God ~ in connection with the Gospel a few days ago on John the Baptist. He was the 'Voice crying out in the desert'...If I were God's 'song,' then the word that could define me would be 'gift'... Being and becoming a gift to others. And I pray with you full of gratitude and love.Melissa Tandochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13747825707650125721noreply@blogger.com
