How Does God See Us?
Good morning. This morning I was encouraged at the bus stop. There is one child who does not care what anyone thinks about him. He has a good heart, and he is a good friend.

Love
Next Friday is Valentine's Day. My kids are excited to exchange cards with their classmates and eat cupcakes. It is all cute and fun. I had to look up the history of Valentine's Day.
