God Looking In

"When we sing, when we pray, when we praise when we sing, He blesses again, and again...it's just God looking in". Aren't you glad He chooses to "look in" on what’s happening in our days as we journey towards Heaven? Years ago I was in a beautiful church in Corpus Christi, TX...Sunday morning. It was a gorgeous day.

May I never forget that my days were planned for me before one of them came to be…they were planned…my part is to be obedient.
