The life of faith is lived one day at a time, and it has to be lived – not always looked forward to as though the “real” living were around the next corner. It is today for which we are responsible. God still owns tomorrow.

Elisabeth Elliot

You are loved with an everlasting love. And underneath are the everlasting arms.
