Life can be complicating for sure but there are times when we ourselves are the ones creating the complication. I love the simple directions from Galatians 5:14 - For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Let's talk about it on today's Morning Manna.

I got my inpiration for today's episode by a meme someone shared. Are you ready... "Sometimes my greatest accomplishment is just keeping my mouth shut." Let's talk about it on today's Morning Manna.
