Keira is my youngest granddaughter! I call her “Smiley”. Yes, because she is always smiling!
Sorry, back to my point. Yet in this hectic, hurry, hurry, go faster, faster merry-go-round we call life, God promises rest. Are you tired? Are you bowed over with worry, problems and fears? Run to Jesus and he will give you rest.
