“As a father is kind to his children,
so the Lord is kind to those who honor him.
He knows what we are made of;
he remembers that we are dust.”
~Psalm 103:13-14 GN~
Aunt Eva Smith (90) is doing well in northwestern Alabama. She may be ready to go back to the assisted nursing facility today. Thank-you for praying for her.
VBS is upon us. For those of us who have a room, decorating time is here. Tomorrow, I will be bringing the Northern Lights to Kentwood. I hope the “flights” are right on time next week. Registration will continue tomorrow and Monday as VBS begins. Come learn about children as they learn about God. I’m expecting great things next week.
