Have you ever created a daily gratitude list? Recounting our thanks is vital in a Christian life of faith, yet a struggle often exists in this area. Hand raised. I work hard at remembering to thank hubby for the long hours he puts in at his job and even for the little things he does…
Can a person truly find comfort in the Lord? After all, it’s hard when hard times hit–like loss of income, a loved one, or home. Rest assured, God is our Comforter. After my Dad died in October 2015, I traveled through three months of grief and sadness until something miraculous happened. God’s comfort became so…
Have you ever battled fear and needed a “fear not” moment? I get you. Many folks walk through life afraid–of disease, the unknown, change, rejection, failure, and so much more.
