I Surrender All

My journey this week.

Hello Everyone,

Tinku Thompson @tinkuthompson

We are not supposed to praise the instrument, but rather the One who skillfully uses it to accomplish His purposes. When God uses you, and someone wants to give you the glory, the best thing to do is point them to the One who did the job. -Chuck Smith

Health Update
