Strengthened

As I shared earlier this week, we are watching many friends suffer. I am so thankful to say, that we are also seeing great things accomplished in their suffering. The friend that had the double mastectomy is recovering amazingly. Her family's faith is being tested...and strengthened, as is many people who are witnessing their experience. The family that lost the baby through the tragic drowning is also a testimony of faith. The Dad spent 30 minutes testifying of God's love and faith at his son's funeral. He pleaded with the thousands attending to come to faith in Christ, and felt deeply that God used his son to bring many to Him. I am uplifted at these great acts of courage and faith. Only the living God can produce these outcomes. Praise God!

A new little project. I have wanted a blackboard for a while, and now having my "word" has inspired me. This one was less than $3 at Walmart. I added the ribbon and buttons from the craft closet and it found the perfect home on the baker's rack!
