Information

Love Blooms Bright offers words, images and quotations to help us enjoy and prepare for God’s coming among us.

The blog began as an offering from the Scottish Episcopal Church, and grew wings along the way.

If you would like to join in, or to share in a similar blog during Lent, please contact me.
