I enjoyed hearing about your family living on the Snake River, such a beautiful place. It is amazing how life brings us challenges that we never expected, but His Word is always present to lead and guide us. How thankful I am for his Word! So steadfast and true throughout whatever life brings to us. And having a prayer/devotion routine each day is absolutely the foundation we must have as believers. Thank you for sharing your heart and encouraging words! Many blessings to you dear Cheryl, how thankful I am for your friendship, and fellowship in the Lord!
