Too many weeks have passed since I’ve joined Holley Gerth and friends for Coffee for Your Heart. I’m grateful to pour a little encouragement today. You can join too (or fill up on encouragement) by clicking here. We play High/Low at dinner time. Each person shares their high from the day and their low from the day.
