Do you have a Giant facing you?

Be Sweet…and laugh.

Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.  Ephesians 4:32 I was going to edit this video’s beginning, but it just makes me smile. I hope you enjoy it and are encouraged to Be Sweet! A joyful heart is good...
