A story of three gifts - Part 1

Sometimes we find ourselves expecting the wrong things or putting our expectations towards the things that will ultimately disappoint us. I wanted to tell the sermon story again, but this time with my MOM’s corrections to the tale. I hope you enjoy it. 12/12/2024 08:55 PM
