Thank you Renee for continuing to share the incredible message of hope God has given to you. Through your witness, many lives are being enriched and blessed and for that we thank God. Blessing to you and peace.

Renee, thank you! What a beautiful message of hope - for all of us! Your message inspires and encourages us to aspire to do more for and with God's people.

WOW! Great story Renee and very inspiring! God is with us in our sorrows and knows when we are breaking apart inside. He sometimes sends us to places to heal and gives us strength. That is why I love Lina Sandell who wrote "Children of the Heavenly Father." She went through much trial and tragedy, seeing her father, a Lutheran pastor drown, losing her baby, and having health issues. By relying on our faith in God as she proved, we can survive anything horrific. :)
