  • Really appreciate this very encouraging and timely message. I wrote down each scripture verse mentioned to read and reflect on further. I’ve shared it with others who were helped by it too. On other episodes Arlene would speak of how important it was for her to share the spiritual food of God’s word as well as natural food. This episode about dealing with troubles is a beautiful combination of both. Praying the grace and peace and comfort of the Lord Jesus Christ be with all my At Home family ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ™โค๏ธ
