There he sat ... all curled up in the seat next to me. I glanced over giving him a smile, but it didn't ease his obvious discomfort and fear. Leaning over again, I tried to soothe his whimpers that were escalating by the second. The closer we got to the grooming store the more uneasy he became.

Walking In The Light And Knowing I Am Loved (giveaway)
Today I want to introduce you to one of my dearest friends, Wendy Blight. I've asked her to share a fresh insight from her new Bible study on 1 John, I Am Loved: Walking in the Fullness of God's Love, because I believe it can impact the way you live your life. And help improve your relationship with God. One of the many things I love about Wendy is how she speaks the truth with honesty and transparency. ...
What Is My Calling In Life?

When I See You In Heaven
" … He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away. And He who sits on the throne said, ‘Behold, I am making all things new.’" Revelation 21:4-5a (NASB) I could feel the slow rhythm of his heartbeat as I laid my head against his chest. Tears quietly rolled down my face as I ...
