Someone wrote, “Ingratitude denotes spiritual immaturity. Infants do not always appreciate what parents do for them. They have short memories. Their concern is not what you did for me yesterday, but what are you doing for me today. The past is meaningless and so is the future. They live for the present. Those who are…
“We are locked in a battle. This is not a friendly, gentleman’s discussion.

Rick Warren wrote, “Great people are ready to help me at just the right time, in just the right way, from people I don’t even know yet. I promise I will never give up because I don’t have what I need, but I will trust God to provide.” Watch God send people to meet needs, accomplish…
