Love that promise…whatesoever he doeth shall prosper but it comes with a catch…we must STAY where our roots can feed from the water of life– Jesus.
Although I very rarely get to see you, Lori, God has made you one of my encouraging supporters, and I am blessed by you. I am thrilled to know that our children our in school together and although the years separate them, they are one in Christ’s body!
