How To See Irritations As Opportunities To Reflect Jesus
Irritations are opportunities. That was my big take-a-way from what Lindsey Papantoniou shared this past Saturday during our FB Live. I have an endless list of things that irritate me daily! It can start as simple as someone leaving 2 drops of lemonade in the jug in...
