Hi Sandra, I am visiting you via Linda Sue's blog this a.m. Hope you and your family had a nice July 4th. I love your previous post with the sweet photos of your pets.
Sandra – the quote by Henry Van Dyke rings true with me today. Lovely post for this Sunday Sabbath Day. Thank you. Have a wonderful week. Take care, from KY.
It is truly the most reliable part of life – we will all experience death and Praise God those of us who have accepted His gift of salvation will awake to eternal life. soli deo gloria – glory to God alone.
