Two Old Women: Book Review

One day, I was browsing the bookshelves of my local library looking for something interesting to read.

I eventually found a book that I had never heard of or read before; Two Old Women . Two Old Women is a book written by Velma Wallis .

Sometimes I think about how amazing and miraculous it is that I have life and that I exist, and how amazing it is that people exist. We exist and have life because of God. He is the one who created the world and breathed life into us, and He and Jesus are worthy of all the glory and praise. There is no reason why we should not glorify and thank Him for everything He has done for us. God is truly awesome and He amazes me.
