Relational Testimony (HT: RZIM’s Slice of Infinity)
Another classic from the only e-devotional I read Mon-Fri, RZIM’s Slice of Infinity:

(Doesn’t that make you want to read the entire devotional? And maybe sign up to receive this devotional too? I can tell you that they have NEVER spammed my email address. They don’t even ask for donations. They just bless and bless–which, of course, makes me WANT to support them. 🙂 )
Blessings on your Thursday!
