Sentiments

Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? (Matthew 6:25, NIV) This is my birth verse, June 25. Sentiments is a compilation of essays written about the people I respect, admire, and love. It is an outflow of Matthew 6:25. We swim in a whirlpool of negative thoughts and emotions. Surrendering to God's will in our lives is crucial for our spiritual development. Think of Sentiments as an attitude colored by feeling or emotion. I invite you to read these essays and my intention is to uplift, inspire, and motivate you to engage with others and form a chain of hope that cannot be broken.About the Author Paula Nelson grew up in South Philadelphia and has remained a lifelong resident.
