on October 17th...my daughter opened her inspirational book for mothers and guess what the verse for the day was? (For the three of us...)

Jeremiah 29:11NIV)

It is amazing how God always lets us hear what we need to hear at the exact moment we need to hear it. God speaks in many ways. From opening a book to find just the exact words to touch the soul or hearing another speak the words that we know were meant for us.

It's always those God moments when God sends us a message that we need to hear to comfort our souls during difficulty.
