Highlights from the week of March 14th

Abundant Forgiveness

• Forgiveness may be the most humbling gift I’ve ever received. And I’m sure it’s the one I’m most grateful for! God is so merciful, gracious, loving and patient with me. When I have the opportunity to forgive someone I should do so gladly. Not just appearing glad, but sincerely forgiving, wanting to be like Christ. Through the power and enabling of His Spirit IN me I can do all things. -Alisa

Interview with Russ Crosson about Raising Sons

• I am so thankful to have this resource. Russ- Brilliant words of wisdom! Boyd, I really needed the encouragement and I knew I would find it here. Russ, I loved your quote and would love to have a copy if you do not mind sharing it…valuable words. I have two children, one who is now 21 and we were told would never walk or talk. A second child who would never live past infancy…today our first child will participate in his 7th Peachtree Road Race with his walker and my daughter, who’s parents were issued “end of life counseling” when she was a baby, is now 13 years old and is joyful, full of life yet blind and she is in no way done living. Life is tough and life is good. You do the very best with all that you have and then you search and search again for encouragement. I only need just enough to get the job done soooo again ….thank you for all the encouragement you give. So very thankful for you, the Stanleys, Russ and this message.Much love and thank you as always.  – Ann

Natural Disaster

• LD from Perrysburg, OH has shared your devotionals with me.  Thanks for your insight/scripture (knowing there is much more in scripture).  What touched my heart was Isaiah: “Do not fear.” May the Holy Spirit continue to use you.  God’s grace always.   – Annie
