Free Vintage Valentine Postcards

And this I pray, that your love may abound
still more and more in knowledge and all discernment.
Philippians 1:9 (NKJV)

 You can give without loving.
But you cannot love without giving.
 Amy Carmichael

 

 Love is like a beautiful flower which I may not touch,
 but whose fragrance makes the garden a place of delight just the same.
Helen Keller

Love that is shared is a beautiful thing-
It enriches the soul and makes the heart sing!
Helen Steiner Rice

Hymn ~ Love Divine All Loves Excelling

Love Divine, All Loves Excelling
by Charles Wesley 1707 - 1788

Love divine, all loves excelling,
Joy of Heav’n to earth come down;
Fix in us thy humble dwelling;
All thy faithful mercies crown!
Jesus, Thou art all compassion,
Pure unbounded love Thou art;
Visit us with Thy salvation;
Enter every trembling heart.

Charles Wesley wrote over 6,000 hymns and it is said, this was one of his finest.  This hymn was sung at the wedding of Prince William & Catherine.  

 

The hymn pictured here is taken from a hymn book in my collection dated 1888.  The cover is shown below.  The hymn and cover graphic are free for you.  Just click to enlarge picture, right click and save to your computer.

New Blog Look ~ Guest Post ~ Projects to Share

What must I do to ensure peace of mind?
Is the answer I'm seeking too hard to find?
How can I know what God wants me to be?
How can I tell what's expected of me?
Where can I go for guidance and aid
To help me correct the errors I've made?
The answer is found in doing three things
And great is the gladness that doing them brings-
Do justice, love kindness, walk humbly with God-
For with these three things as your rule and your rod,
All things worth having are yours to achieve
If you follow God's words, have faith to believe.
~ Helen Steiner Rice ~

Thanks for stopping by today my friends.  I wanted to share with you today that my sweet online friend Holly from 2911 Jeremiah Avenue Blog has asked me to be a guest on her blog today as a “Woman of Hope”.  

Each month she features someone different.  I was humbled by her request.  You can find her interview with me here:  Abby as Guest at 2911 Jeremiah Avenue

 

Do you like the new look of my blog?  I know I sure do.  I felt congested before in my little blog space and feel like I’ve moved from a tiny apartment to a spacious cottage by the sea.  The credit for this beautiful blog design and header goes to Susan at Starsunflower Studio. 

When I saw her work, I knew I had found what I was looking for.  Susan offers so many different templates, brushes, digital stamps, blogger backgrounds, tutorials and so much more.  Many of the items she has are free, and others are reasonably priced in her Starsunflower Studio Digital Goods Shop.  She’s a pro!!  Thank you Susan for all your hard work!  I love it.  

It makes me so happy when I see projects that others have made using images I’ve offered.  Here are a few that I’ve seen recently.

I have just started a new Pinterest Board and will be pinning projects that have been made using my free digital images.  If you have made something using my images, please send me an email with a link to your project and I will add it to the board.

You can check out the board here, I’ve already added some projects that I knew about. Projects made from my free graphics.   

You can view all my pinterest boards here Little Birdie Blessings on Pinterest

If you have a project you’ve made using scripture from the Bible, I’d love to have you consider linking it up each Thursday right here at Little Birdie Blessings.  This week’s Scripture Thursday Linky Party is still open.  You can see the previous post or click here:  Scripture Thursday.
