Comments by others:
  • My husband fell and broke his neck and back and he died as a result of those injuries January 14, 2013. One year later I found your website and I don't start my day without reading your post first. Today your post is helping a woman I used to work with, her husband was murdered six weeks ago. It was your post that kept me close to Christ even though I'm a practicing Catholic. Your prayer today is essential since yesterday she said she would never do it; but she wish that she would just die. On behalf of both of these widows, God bless you for your posts that offer hope, inspiration and wisdom. It helps to get us out of bed and keep us going.

  • Wow! I don't even know what to say about this devotion. It is just like God took your hand and wrote this from what He put in your heart. It is all the scripture and all the examples of what you have lived, that God is using it all for you to serve Him. This ALL spoke to me so much today. I know I don't understand all of Gods thoughts or His ways, but I do need to trust Him, that He knows what is best for me, even when I get side tracked with all my anxious thought"s. He is always there for me to get back on track. I am going to meditate on these scriptures you gave us today. I am going to write them down and shew and shew them untill I can swallow all of them. These are going on cards for me to put around the house where I am going to be the most , so I can see and read them. Thank God for you and Sylvia serving God the way you are

  • Thank you, thank you! I not have words to express how i feel after i read over and over the daily encouraging word today!
