Dear Lisee, I have gathered passages from the Bible that go along with several of the keywords from Philippians 4:8. I hope you enjoy them. Love, Elf

TRUE:
Psalm 117:1-2
1 O praise the Lord, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people.
2 For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the Lord endureth for ever. Praise ye the Lord.

HONEST:
Luke 8:15
But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

JUST:
Isaiah 26:7-8
7 The way of the just is uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just.
8 Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O Lord, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee.

PURE:
James 3:17-18
17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

LOVELY:
Psalm 147:7-8
7 Sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God:
8 Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.

OF GOOD REPORT:
Genesis 1:31
And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

VIRTUE:
2 Peter 1:5-9
5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.

PRAISEWORTHY:
1 Peter 1:7
That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

THINK:
Psalm 119:30
I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before me.

To Aygee: a poem inspired by Tangled.

Rapunzel on the Verge of Adventure

Night and day,
Work and play,
I stay up in my tower.
I dream delights:
To see floating lights,
My wish grows every hour!


To Ajnos: a hedgehog poem.

Brave and bold is the hedgehog,
A faithful beast is he.
He travels the land for adventure,
He sails across a shining sea.
Never ignoring a beast in distress,
The honorable hedgie will help, do his best.
For, brave and bold is the hedgehog,
And a faithful beast is he.

For Ariel and Ajnos, I have two Middle Earth fics, K-rated, both rather long and heavy on the Biblbo presence.

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2405289/1/Nothing-of-Note is a slice-of-life fic involving a walking tour of the Shire, Frodo's adoption by Bilbo, Elf-towers, and a mischievous employment of a certain Ring.

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2456490/1/Stone-of-Erebor is a mystery occuring during a visit to the Dwarven kingdom of the Lonely Mountain.

Both have some lovely characterization and description. This elf quite enjoyed them, and hopes the recipients shall, too.
