God daily loads us with blessings. Eternal life is offered through the Living Water and the Bread of Life that feeds and fills us for eternity. What benefits! David penned, “…my cup runs over…” (Psalm 23:5) Indeed, our tanks are full.

When Anxiety Threatens
Anxiety doesn’t have to rule your heart. Fear doesn’t have to be in charge. God’s peace can bring you inner quietness (Isaiah 26:3) Embrace the calming words of scripture. Trust in His goodness. If you’re in the center of His will, then that’s the best place to be.

Such Sweet Comfort
Guest post by Author Lauri Lemke Thompson I became hooked on a TV series called Meerkat Manor. Researchers studied and filmed a meerkat clan for over ten years. One of the most interesting revelations for me was the interactive behavior of the cute 10-inch-long critters, who often stand erect on their hind legs. I found …
