Before my mind decides otherwise, I just want to put here that sharing night today was wonderful.

"We are a family of brothers and sisters."

"Be a blessing to others."

"Looking heavenward means glorifying and worshiping God, focusing on eternity. That means grades and earthly things, though may still need stewardship, are not the priority."

Romans 5:3-6 Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.
