    ❤ Watching you guys over the years has been my happy place while I was sick. When I wanted to give up, you would show me all these amazing places. I wanted to go, and that has helped me a lot. Now, I have been slowly recovering. I have been doing my own travel itinerary for when i can travel.
    You all bring smiles to my face. Thank you

      Jesus loves you ❤️
      Nothing can compare to how he loves you. When he hung on that cross, he thought of you. As they tore open his back, he thought of your prayer time with him. As the thorns dug into his head, he thought of you spending time in the word of God. As the spears went into his side, he imagined embracing you in heaven. Please turn to Jesus and repent and receive Salvation before it's too late. The end times described in the Bible are already happening in the world. Jesus was born into this world free of sin and then he died on the cross for our sins and God raised him from the dead on the third day. He is waiting for you with open arms. His heart longs for you.
