Something to say with it

A verse means more with a sentence from you. A few places to start:

  • Praying for you today. No need to write back.
  • Thinking of you and asking God to stay close.
  • Whatever today holds, you're not facing it alone.
  • Can I bring dinner or drive you this week? Just say when.
