Good afternoon Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. Since God has given us all that we have, even our very breath, we should willingly and lovingly give God all praise, glory and honor, even for the tests and temptations we endure, because they are what make us stronger.
Have a blessed day today and always.
