Still Thankful

http://www.freedigitalphotos.net/images/thanksgiving-day-photo-p201639

It’s the day after Thanksgiving here in the US. But that doesn’t mean our thanks needs to stop.

We have many, many things to be thankful for. But, at the root of every single one is one simple, mind- blowing, undeniable fact: God’s love is eternal. From everlasting to everlasting, from creation to the new heaven and earth, from the smallest transgression committed by accident to Satan’s rebellion, His love endures forever.

Weary in Spirit?

Weary In Spirit?
By Annagail Lynes
