Hi, I want to thank everyone for your continued support throughout the years. I am going to step back for one month from the blog and linkup and take a month-long hiatus.
I feel I just need some downtime to refocus and redirect my energies. The #LMMLinkup will return on Monday, August 5.
Please pray for our community and the direction of the linkup this month. I hope everyone has a wonderful Independence Day this week!
Now, on to our weekly linkup. First, please follow me on your social media. I love to hear from you: Blog/Facebook/Twitter/Pinterest/ Instagram/Google+.
Next, lets review last week’s linkup.

10 Reasons God’s a Faithful Father
By Karen at KarenGirlFriday.com

Karen’s 10 reasons and the personal story that she shares blessed me to tears this past week. I loved this post and am so thankful Karen has joined our community. She also posted some great news! CBN published her devotional, Supernatural Power, on their website’s devotional section. Be sure to check it out too.

Now, it is time to link up to the Literacy Musing Mondays hop!

Linkup Rules:
- Include a link back or the blog hop button linked to this hop on your posts.
- Link up the URLs to your posts, not to your blog.
- Please remember this is a family-friendly linkup. Although we believe in the right for adults to read whatever they want to read, we prefer to read wholesome posts that feature literature that edify and uplift families. We reserve the right to delete any posts that are not family friendly. We love all kinds of literature and genres including family-friendly inspirational romances, fantasy, or science fiction. We do not welcome any posts that feature excessive violence, sexual content, or any cursing. This rule also applies to book review posts that feature books that are not family-friendly. These posts will be deleted without notice to the blogger or explanation. While we believe in the right for all adults to read whatever they want, we feel our linkup is for family-friendly posts only. Thank you for understanding.
- We also want to be a loving community by supporting one another. Please make a point to do this week! Visit the two posts before yours and at least one other blogger’s post of your choice! I want to see lots of clicks on everyone’s posts. Remember it is also nice to follow them on their social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook.
- Also, note periodically I will send everybody updates on the linkup using your contact information you provided when you linked up. At the bottom of the notifications, you will be able to unsubscribe if you do not wish to receive these notifications.
- Tweet about the link up too.

Mary, thanks so much for featuring my blog post, 10 Reasons God’s a Faithful Father. I’m thankful to be His child…His daughter. No matter what our earthly father-child experience was like, God, the Father, cannot be compared. He is loving and caring and faithful in every way and without hesitation. Blessings! Hope your month-long break brings much needed rest and refreshment.
