Quotes by Mary Lou Cheatham (?)

“Thessalonians 5:18) Give thanks every day. Make it an exercise. While you glorify God, you will help yourself. You will look on the sunny side of life, you will enjoy your life, and you will help others enjoy their lives. Giving thanks honors God. Also the exercise helps you to be better, feel better, and look better.”

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. (Psalm 46:1-3)”
