Gentle reader, I wanted to share my husband’s thanksgiving thoughts with you: The following was read on my on my podcast: Yesterday at work, I began to think about my blessings and realized how much I truly have to be thankful for. So let’s begin. I’m thankful for a God who gives Grace to me as I seek to follow him day by day. Many times I fail, but he lifts me up. He is gracious and forgiving.

In this mindset, God takes up residenceRead More →
