A Brief Word from Our Executive Ministry Team
A few days ago, many of you probably celebrated Valentine’s Day. We share cards, flowers, candy, or maybe even a romantic dinner. If we expand our hearts beyond our family, what kind of heart does God want us to have and share? I came across this article recently by an unknown author that shares that God is looking for a heart of gratitude in all things…not just when things are going well. I found it to be a good reminder for me and so I am sharing it with you all. Be blessed! https://abcgrr.org/wp-content/uploads/FEB26-Mainstream.docx
