ReplyDeleteI found this post interesting - I completely agree and am so glad that the one thing I knew for sure growing up was that God was to be first in our lives. I am so thankful that you and mom instilled that in us children and taught us to instill it in ours. What a great example you and mom have been, not just for us, but our children as well. Love you!
