“The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me.  My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him. “Psalm 28:7

 

As you go about your today, and as your today leads into tomorrow, and then into the week ahead, may you find your strength and help in the Lord!  May your heart trust in Him, and may you find your joy in resting in his presence.  Let your kiddos see you place your joy and trust in the Lord as well. . . It will be a blessing and a comfort for them to see, and, Lord willing, an example they desire to follow!
