Oh how I love this post! Where did you find this? What a treasure.
ReplyDeleteI'm sending this post to all of my friends & our couples Sunday School class. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing Ally. I'm linking to his book in case anyone is interested!
ReplyDeleteI stumbled across this list and knew I had to share for Valentine's Day!
Believe it or not, I found it in the bathroom stalls at Hyman's Seafood in Charleston, SC...no joke!
ReplyDeleteSo true, so true and sometimes so hard to do. I guess I'm a poet now. These are great
ReplyDeleteto keep in mind all throughout the year. I love the wedding ring one. I look at my ring everyday and still get an excited feeling. What mush! Glad you kept your eyes open in that bathroom so you could share.
These are such sweet reminders!
