Scripture Writing – Jeremiah 29:11-14

If you didn’t begin on the first, grab a notebook, your Bible, and a pen.  You can be caught up in a couple hours.  The link to the Scripture is for those who prefer to copy from the computer or phone.  I suppose that may even help some people with size of the text.

This shows how special people can be, especially in a difficult time.  Bill and Gloria Gaither have been extra special people, in my opinion, for a long time.  This makes them even more special!

Some of you will have dresses to donate.  Others may want to help meet other needs. Maybe this information will be helpful to some young parents.  Use it if you heart or life is touched.

I trust this post, as well as all the others, leaves you with something that has touched your heart.
