2 Corinthians 4 For God who said let light shine out of darkness, made His light shine in our hearts….. This verse was shared with me by a friend who sincerely noticed the love of Jesus in my heart. I’m humbled by these words because it could only be Jesus in this frazzled, tired, confused…
Make your birthday a gratitude day!
What an amazing birthday! Last year I started a personal tradition of being purposefully grateful on my birthday–taking pictures and really concentrating on all the blessings in my life.
