A sincere thank you to everyone who gave money for Mrs. Heigl. A lovely plant is being delivered and a generous Applebees card was given to her in a card that the class all signed.
I have been thinking about how bad, sad things do happen to good, Christian people. I am reminded that trusting in God doesn’t make my life or me perfect, but it will ensure that I am not alone. God is with us during these times. I have been holding this verse in my head and heart this week:
The Lord is close to those whose hearts are broken.
He saves those whose spirits have been crushed.
Psalm 34:18
I hope this encourages you in some small way. Have a great week. Thank you for your continued support. Mrs. Lively
