Thank you! You are making me a little teary eyed. He is SO good right...how He does this...??

lindseyfoj said... Best Blogger Tips

Wow. You gave me an insight that I didn't even see. Love how God does that! I was inspired by a book written by Max Lucado years ago containing all one word sentences. Love that reminder that even in the structure there is meaning.
