FEBRUARY QUOTE
“When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider this: GOD has made the one as well as the other. Therefore, no one can discover anything about their future.”
Nothing is ever certain in this life, so remember to be thankful for the good and bad times because they are all part of GOD’s plan for you.
