God/Goddess for the Needs of Our Children:

victory... The hard thing we are going through is not the final

God/Goddess:
God/Goddess makes all

see to every detail... arrange every circumstance... change every
heart... and order every step to bring to pass what God/Goddess has
planned for us." |
|
"Our Life is a
Blessing:
The mind of God/Goddess is different than the thoughts of human. As
we follow God/Goddess, we discover that we lose to gain... surrender
to win... die to live... give to receive... scatter to reap. In
weakness we are made strong... in humility we are lifted up... in
emptiness we are made full!" |
