APRIL 2022

I burst out in songs of thanksgiving."

Day One of something new-
Hopeful!
"...but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;
perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame,
because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit,
who has been given to us."   Romans 5:3-5
