Counting Our Blessings
“Give thanks to the Lord for He is good, His love endures forever!” This Thanksgiving please join me in thanking God for the multitude of blessings He has bestowed on us.
Are You Hiding?
Are you hiding today? We hide for many reasons. In terms of our sins- we hide because we do not believe God will forgive us. We do not understand who God is! As Christians, in terms of our marriage- we hide because we do not trust the spirit of God inside our spouse. We do not believe the vows spoken for “better or worse” and think we must live in a facade of “better.” Keep reading, friends!
