It was a difficu...Thanks for your prayers, Victor.<br /><br />It was a difficult time for me and I am still recovering bit by bit.

Maybe through tiredness, worry, fear or various other reasons, we look away and forget to focus on Him.<br /><br />Praying for you.<br /><br />God bless.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.com
