One Glass of Milk

One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay
his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and

the door. 

Instead of a meal, he asked for a drink of water. She thought he
looked hungry so brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it

Daily Encouragement For March 05:

God gives us the ingredients to make our daily bread, but He expects us to do the baking.

Triumph takes just the right ingredients, add a pinch of "try" and a lot of "umph."

The best times in life are made a thousand times better when they are shared with God.

To have the best relationships, treat your family like friends and your friends like family.

Can't sleep, give your troubles over t...
