I’m With You
You are spo right. When we have one thing and then another happen, so soon, it is harder to deal with them, because we do not have time to get any stronger in the time between them. I try to pray for my DS family and my regular family everyday too. I hope you will please pray for me and my family also. We are still struggling everyday and can use them. Thank you for your kindness.Love Peggy
