      What a blessing to hear from faithful friends – the prayers make all the difference as God continues to do a work in our family, in me, in our circumstances. I only want to see everything more like Him. Thank you for being here and spreading more peace.

      It’s an antique I found at a local shop, and I did nothing at all to it since it was wobbly and aged to perfection. So definitely check your local antique malls and flea markets.
