THE LITTLE THINGS
Little drops of water,Little grains of sand,Make the mighty ocean,And the pleasant land.(Ellen C. Brewer) Many of us remember Bible school days, when we sang this song as innocent children.

GOD’S LOVING-KINDNESS
While God’s loving-kindness is clearly evident to those who pause a moment and recognize it, many people are in the clutches of evil forces.
