Scripture Reading

Isaiah 40:31 (CEB)
Introductory Remarks
Life is a classroom of lessons that prepares us to live purposefully.
As children, we learn through examples, stories, and daily choices, that are hopefully guided by God’s Omnipresent wisdom. This wisdom manifests as instinct in eagles and intuition in humans. By heeding this guidance, we are prepared to fully live our purpose. Others, especially children, are inspired to do the same.
