38. Bible study with godly women who speak with different accents, claim different places as home, but all love the same Lord who has brought us to this land.
52. My precious princesses, who twirl and spin not caring who is watching.
58. Conversations with random strangers that encourage and brighten my day.
"Praise the Lord! Oh give thanks
to the Lord, for He is good; for His lovingkindness is everlasting."
