    Thanks for the great quote, Chris.

  2. Thank you for sharing this Chris. It is significant that we “look up.” Coincidentally only yesterday in my daily reading I read… “And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.” (Luke 21v28)

      You’re welcome, Elizabeth, and thank you for sharing. I guess if the Old and New Testament tell us there are times to look up that it must be important! I know you know how important it is to look to God. I pray that he blesses you this day!
