Nan

Scriptures of Encouragement ~ The Tenderness of God
"But, Daddy, I don't want to go!" It was time for our grandson to return to his mom's house. Broken homes equal broken hearts. Even when there's no animosity between divorced parents, broken homes still equal broken hearts. I cuddled him in my lap, wiping his tears....
