The story of God’s incredible love for us is unmatched. It is the greatest love story ever told. But there are plenty of other great love stories in the Bible and they all have lessons for us. There is one that showed up on a few lists that surprised me- the story of King Solomon

My gardens are limping along, giving me a few measly tomatoes, cucumbers, and zucchini while I fight the weather, the slugs, the Japanese beetles and some incurable soil problem.

When I inherited my Grandma’s pearl necklace, I took them to my favorite trusted jeweler for cleaning and appraisal. They returned them in a beautiful velvet-lined box with the words, “They’re not real, but they cleaned up beautifully.” I never forgot their kind words and actions and how much they cared for my treasure.
