Just some early morning thoughts from me to you…
“Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”
Psalm 23:6 (ESV)
Sitting here this morning a smile again crosses my face as I recall a story I heard from a good friend yesterday.
