Grown in Faith

My husband and I ventured out for a lovely walk yesterday evening. All around us were big, strong maple trees and pine trees. There were various types of plants that surrounded us. So much of God’s beauty could be found. As we continued on our path forward, we saw sand dunes in the distance and…
