Paul & Dorothy Pilgrim,

" Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think according to the power at work in us." Ephesians 3:20

When you are the neediest, He is the most sufficient.
When you are the weakest, He is most able.
When you are completely helpless, He is most helpful.

Remember, When you can’t, He Can!

Be Blessed,
The Montgomery & The Young Family
