O Father, Thank You for revealing Yourself to us as God Almighty (Genesis 17:1). You are more powerful than any other being ever was or will be (Revelation 11:17).

The crocuses and daffodils planted by previous owner have bloomed and the tulips that Mark and I planted last fall are peeking through. I’m encouraged knowing that warmer weather is on its way. But, it’s not always this way. Some people are surprised that we …
