“In God’s good plan, there is a reason why today is not tomorrow.”

Sometimes we wonder what’s taking so long.
In The Twelve Days of Christmas, Curtis Almquist writes “We need the provisions of today to prepare us to receive the promises of tomorrow.” He writes about how joy takes time, acceptance, and desire.

It’s such a relief to let God take care of these things. I know you are living well, Mary.

Beautiful, JoAnna. By the way, I am also a “tree-hugging Christian”. Glad to know there is another one out there! 🙂

Yes, it is good to know. I think there are more than a few of us! 🙂
