Blessed in the Midst of Famine

We are living in perilous times.Wars and rumors of wars.Economic uncertainty.Evil celebrated as good.Good condemned as evil.Hearts growing cold.Truth mocked and scoffed at.Everywhere we turn, it feels like the very ground beneath us is shaking.

Listen!

Listen when it’s busy, Listen when it’s still. Listen when you’re healthy, Listen when you’re ill. Listen when it’s dark and dim, Listen when light shines through. Listen even in your sadness because I want to speak to you. Listen my children because your life depends on it, I had to shut things down justContinueContinue reading “Listen!”
