SHOP IN HEAVEN’S GROCERY STORE
I was walking down life’s highway a long time ago. One day I saw a sign that read Heaven’s Grocery Store. As I got a little closer, the door came open wide, and when I came to myself, I was standing inside.

First, I got some patience, love was in the

The family and the power of our words!
We can build our family up to be strong and impactful or we can tear down our family with negative words! Rather intentionally or unknowingly what we say and how we say it counts! Negative words are like placing a curse on yourself as well as members of your family. Let us review what is written in The Bible regarding our words. In Proverbs 18:21(KJV) it is written: “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof”. The Message

The Excellency of Brotherly Unity
Psalms 133 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brothers to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious oil [of consecration] poured on the head, Coming down on the beard, Even the beard of Aaron, coming down upon the edge of his [priestly] robes [consecrating the whole body].

Instead, be reasonable since God has measured out a portion of faith to each one of you. Ro
