Tuesday


Be strong and of a good courage,

fear not, nor be afraid of them:

for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee;

he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

~Deuteronomy 31:6 (KJV)~

(I don’t know why I was drawn to this verse today,

but it surely was “just the one” some of us needed to focus on today.)

Macy Gueldner – As you pray for those at the hospital, pray also for those back in our area who cannot be there for Macy, her sister, and her mother.
