Father we thank you for your goodness and your grace in our lives. We thank you for your love and as school approaches I think of my grandkids going to school. I bring each one before your throne of grace. I pray that you would be honoured in their hearts and in their minds as they do school work, as they do extra curricular activities. I also pray that you would help them to each find a close friend that has similar values. And help them to be children of integrity. I pray this all in your name, amen.

Hope is what gives me strength and peace by trusting in God, knowing how much He loves me, and each and every one of us. Hope is like a light, giving brightness to a day.

I work in a community and I've been through a lot in my life and as I drive around going from home to home, I have UCB on and it just seems that at the moments when I really need a word from God of just, you know, I'm more than just the sum of my parts-- It'll be a speaker or it'll be a song that comes on that just encourages me and reminds me to just keep believing that God will have my back no matter what. There's a voice out there that says you're not alone.
