Jesus Enjoys Giving
My two grandchildren, Isabella and Liam, live very close, and I am fortunate they visit often. One of their favorite activities is to check out Grandmom’s snack bag, which is just for them.

Thanks-Living
While many associate Thanksgiving Day with family, stretchy pants, football and shopping, let it propel us toward a heart of gratitude. It is a time to consider God’s goodness, grace, and provision for us. He is the Author of encouragement, help, and hope. I like to think of Thanksgiving as trust-giving and thanks-living. Thanksgiving should […]
