God's Everlasting Gift

GOD'S EVERLASTING GIFT

by HELEN STEINER RICE




WE ALL HAVE MANY THINGS
TO BE DEEPLY THANKFUL FOR,
BUT GOD'S EVERLASTING PROMISE
OF LIFE FOREVERMORE
IS A REASON FOR THANKSGIVING
EVERY HOUR OF THE DAY
AS WE WALK TOWARD ETERNAL
LIFE ALONG THE KINGS HIGHWAY.



WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES-IT'S HUMAN TO ERR-BUT NO ONE NEED EVER GIVE UP IN DESPAIR; FOR GOD GIVES US ALL A BRAND-NEW BEGINNING, A CHANCE TO START OVER AND REPENT OF OUR SINNING.
