He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him…” Proverbs 11:25-26 – God loves a giving, liberal heart. Even when you go to a restaurant, give 20% and bless the waitress. Leaving...
At the age of four, Jonise had malnutrition and weighed only about 26 pounds. She is now a beautiful young girl, who helps run our Love A Child accounting office, and does an excellent job. We just found out about a week ago that she is engaged. Wedding bells may be ringing in December! Sherry
