Full
“But I have received everything in full and have an abundance ; I am amply supplied, having received from Epaphroditus what you have sent, a fragrant aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God.

Hints of Summer

Beautiful Music – Joyful Contentment
The day is mostly sunny and quite warm, but there’s a delightful light wind blowing. Storm clouds are, once again, gathering on the horizon, but the sun is bright for the time being. My windows are open and my home, normally filled with recorded music, is instead filled with the wonderful…
