Welcome back to Gayl Wright! Gayl rejoins us a co-host of the #LMMLinkup. She served back in 2016 as a host. She added so much and helped our community grow in so many ways.
When you visit her blog, you will find simple, poignant words of encouragement as Gayl invites you into her mountain home. She shares poetry, creative writings, and stories of family and love.
We featured her many times on the #LMMLinkup. She wrote about her love of books in a guest post entitled, The Magic of Books. I also featured her in 2016 in a post as part of my Write 31 Days Series: 31 Christian Women Bloggers Who Inspire A Closer Walk with Jesus and Change Lives. I am so blessed to have her back.
Now on to our weekly linkup. First let’s meet your hosts:

Gayl at Words, Photos and Art
Blog/Facebook Page/Twitter/Pinterest/ Instagram/
Mary at Mary-andering Creatively
Blog/Facebook/Twitter/Pinterest/ Instagram/Google+
We are also seeking part-time hosts to sign up on a weekly basis in March. As a part-time host you will serve as a cheerleader and help read no more than 10 blog posts of those linking up with us. You will just leave an encouraging message and share the posts across your social media. For helping out, I will write up a feature of your blog, including a bio with all your social media links. You only have to sign on for one week at a time; so, there is no long-term commitment. Let me know if you are interested by emailing me at marykatbpcsc45 @ gmail.com.
Last Week’s Top Clicked Post!
When I Don’t Get What I Need
By Barbara at Stray Thoughts

Barbara presents an excellent study on contentment that doesn’t just quote platitudes. I actually learned a few things so be sure to to check it out.
My Favorite Post of the Week
Favorite post does not quite apply here. This post really touched me to the core, however. The recent tragic school shooting in Florida hit close to home for Michelle. My heart goes out to her. How can we find hope in this tragedy? Michele prays for the families involved. I hope you will read this poignant post.
Want to be the next to be featured! Just link up a post and if you are read the most, we will feature you. Also please make sure you link back to our community so others will know about our link up and join in. I will try to make it worth your while to linkup by promoting your posts across my social media networks. I will also pin my most clicked and featured posts to our #LMMLinkup Pinterest Board each week!

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 loving community by supporting one another. Please make a point to do this 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.
- Follow your host on her social media : Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram.
- Tweet about the link up too.

Welcome back, Gayl! I look forward to reading more of your posts and comments. Just a housekeeping note: I’ve been having trouble with the Twitter link for a while. I’m not sure if it’s just me. Blessings to you both!

Thanks for the warm welcome Donna! There was something wrong with my twitter share button and I just took it off my blog since I have tweets throughout the post that can be shared.
Blessings to you!
I think I blinked and the entire month of February went by! Can you believe it’s March this week?
Welcome back, Gayl! I think you were one of the hosts when I first “discovered” LMM!
I am very honored to be featured today and so thankful God could use what He’s been teaching me to help others.
