Good morning my dear families and friends I pray that we all had a blessed nights rest.

The thought for today says No matter how dark the clouds seem, they are only clouds. The sun is always shining, the sky is always blue.The clouds are just droplets of water, gathered together to tease people who don’t remember the truth.

Rain in abundance, O God, You shed abroad; You restored Your inheritance as it languished; Your flock found a dwelling in it; in Your goodness, O God, You provided for the needy. Psalm 68:9-10. Have a blessed Tuesday.

Today’s Tip

Back of the clouds the sun is ALWAYS shining and just waiting to shine through.
