Lesson learned the past few days:

 
PerseveranceIS  required in life!!!

On my mind:I
I have a close family friend is standing at the edge of life waiting for the Lord to call her home.  She has had 3 battles with cancer and has won two out of the three,but more than her and her pain I am praying for her children and husband as they spend her last moments with her!

Devotionals, Scripture Reading, Key Verses:
God established that ALL his children would be promise keepers-HIS promise keepers

2 Corinthians 1:3-5

3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. 5 For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.

HAPPY MONDAY!
