True. I’m Thankful that God is always there to pick up the broken pieces and put them together again.
Jenna requires gentleness and patience as do the circumstances of our lives. And through grace, all will be well, even the occasional collapse.
Auto correct got me again. Jenga, not Jenna.
but ‘the best laid plans go oft angly’ certainly applies here!
