I have learned something living in the desert…….GOD provides for all HIS creation in a well thought out way.

Do people in your world demand much, but offer you little? Do they require of you an undeserved favor? How about undeserved grace? Last night I witnessed an undeserved grace at our HOA meeting.

BECAUSE GOD IS……..CAN WE ACCEPT ALL THINGS FROM HIS HAND, THE GOOD AND THE BAD? I often wonder, how do I see the pain around me and in the world and still…….thank HIM?
