It's FRIDAY!!!!

Gooood morning, my lovely Gracie girl!

I'm hoping you know how much I like and love you.  I'm praying for you today.  I hope your legs and bottom feel better after that hard fall you had!

OK.

Before you even start your day - just try to have some quiet time praying.  He loves you and made you the way you are.  Never forget that.  Your strength, silliness, awesome laugh....Just spend some time being thankful and praying for the ones you love.

Also.  Read a bit of Judges. I know that's what you're learning about at W3.  The stories are kinda intense sometimes, but they are all kinds of awesome.  Do you know who wrote that book?  Do you know why it was written?

Also, today is a big day to remember in our country's history.  Please watch this video.  It's hard to watch, but so very important.  https://youtu.be/3vyZD36cZVo


OK.
