We’re reminded of what Dr. King said – that for one to serve – they needed a heart full of grace and a soul generated by love. Saturday night, for us, was a bright and shining light pointed at all kinds and types of grace and love!
We say it all the time, because it’s true – we’ve become known by the company we keep and we’re so grateful and thankful!
