God provides all we need
An excerpt from 2 Peter 1:2-3 (NRSV)
His divine power has given us everything needed for life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.
Reflection from Cyndi Millspaugh:
The more that we open our hearts and minds to connecting with what God has provided us, we can walk through life’s journey together. I am grateful for the realization that the world is full of natural beauty, wonderful people, animals, and nature, all of which sustains me. Any time that I feel the need to refresh, I find comfort in family, friends, community, sports, a simple walk in nature, listening to music, or a time with a dog or pet, as just a few examples from my “tool kit!”God surrounds us with abundance in so many ways.
