SUNDAY THOUGHT

1 Corinthians 13:12

It is the same with us. Now we see God as if we are looking at a reflection in a mirror. But then, in the future, we will see him right before our eyes. Now I know only a part, but at that time I will know fully, as God has known me.

Many thanks for visiting and also for leaving any comments.

One of our residents took this photograph.

Stay safe.
