 I remember receiving visitors at our home in Pennsylvania during the Christmas season. Our home was adorned with outdoor lighting, and, inside, we were decked out with a tree, garland and angels.

A Precious Deposit

A dear friend often says that her longing for heaven increases with each deposit made. She’s referring to the passing of her mother, then her father, into eternity and her desire to join them there. Knowing this dear friend’s love for our Lord, I know she will run to His…

No Regrets
