“Everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving.” 1 Timothy 4:4 Many of us tend to take things for granted – the colors of flowers, the songs of birds, the beauty of sunrise – these are all things that many people barely notice.

“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him” Jeremiah 17:7 Everybody is searching for peace. No one can avoid the strain of life or the severe stress it brings with it.
