Vicky and Steve read 1 Corinthians 13.
" 1If I speak in the tongues[a] of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,[b] but have not love, I gain nothing.
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."

Daily Scripture Writing, 3rd February 2016: Psalm 85:8-13
I am listening to what the Lord God is saying; he promises peace to us, his own people, if we do not go back to our foolish ways. Surely he is ready to save those who honour him, and his saving presence will remain in our land. Love and faithfulness will meet; righteousness and peace will embrace. Human loyalty will reach up from the earth, and God's righteousness will look down from heaven. The Lord will make us prosperous, and our land will produce rich harvests. Righteousness will go before the Lord
and prepare the path for him.
TFL!

From Handel's Messiah: There were shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flocks by night. And lo! the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not; for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

Bible Verses on Money 10bibleverses.com/scripture-quotes/bible-verses-about-money/
The Bible has a lot to say about money and how we should handle it. In Matthew 6:24, Jesus tells us that we cannot serve both God and money. This means that our focus should be on God, and not on earthly things like money. Money is an important part of life, but it should not be our main focus. In 1 Timothy 6:10, Paul tells us that the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. This means that when we put our love for money above everything else, it can lead us down a bad path. We see this happen all the time in the world today. People will do anything for money, even if it means harming others. But when we keep our focus on God, He will guide us and help us use our money in ways that are good and helpful to others.
Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet none of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father. Matthew 10:29
I saw this on a sidewalk as I walking in my neighborhood (well not the words!). It was just shaped like a heart and I loved it - it reminded me of this scripture.
