Faith

I glanced out my kitchen window. There, I saw a unique picture. A squirrel was drinking, from the bird bath. It was full of water, from the recent rain. I wanted a picture of this. But, I had tried before. He always moved, before I could capture him, on film.

“Because you have these blessings, do your best to add these things to your faith and to your goodness; and to your goodness, add knowledge; and to your knowledge, add selfcontrol; and to your selfcontrol, add patience; and to your patience, add service to God; and to your service to God, add...
