Greetings: God bless you this day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
As we get older, changes become harder to make . We like to get
into a groove and stay there. We don't like to have our pattern disrupted.

Add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge, and to
knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance, and to
perseverance, godliness, and to godliness brother kindness, and to
brotherly kindness love . 2 Peter 1: 5-7

God wants to take us on the road less traveled, where we have to depend
on Him, not our own strength and experiences. We only grow when we
step out of our comfort zone.
