I purchased the Aeitto slow juicer for approximately $130.00 in the month of March of this year. I have to say I am extremely pleased. The juicer is great because of its size, its quality, and the benefits it offers.
The equipment does not take up too much space on my countertop because it is compact. It was simple to …
You and I experience disappointments from time to time. We get disappointed over potential opportunities that were presented to us but did not materialize.

The first phrase that I am attracted to is, “Give thanks to God. The Bible is filled with psalms of thanksgiving. We should not take God for granted, but give God thanks in everything ( 1 Thessalonians 5: 16-18), not only when things are going well, but when they are not. God is in control and all things work together for our good. When we give God thanks, we …

Have you realized that you have extended yourself too much? You are there for your immediate family, extended family, friends, doing a ministry that God has called you to do and now find yourself with little time for yourself. If this resembles your lifestyle, you and I are in the same boat and we need to ask ourselves the question, “What does God expect of me during my …

The word “rest” signifies an attitude of total trust that a believer should have in God. When you rest in God, you are not anxious about life’s issues, because you have entrusted every area of your life to Jesus Christ. He is the One who fights your battles (2 Chron. 20:15).
When we seek God on a certain issue, we continue to feel anxious, as if God did not …
Your family members may have experienced the effects of the pandemic either from sickness, death, or loss of jobs. As you read about the war in Ukraine, the gun violence which has plagued our nation, and the uncertainty that we have experienced daily, you and I feel a sense of helplessness, pain, and anger about life in general.

Mom, you are special, beautiful, and strong. You have been through the storms, but you depended on God to bring you through, and He did. You are an overcomer because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world (1 John 5:5).
You are a woman of faith who believes that all things are possible with God, so you have pressed your way through the difficulties, …
