Thanks for reminding me that God is there when I struggle up the slippery hill and also when I roll down the hill through the soft grass in favorable dry weather. --Myrna Smucker I am reading your encouraging words here on our farm in Bird-in-Hand where the hill that leads down to the Millstream is muddy and slick.

I am especially encouraged by the impact the scripture had on you as a result of girls' club. That you remember it this many years later is a testimony for the value of such ministries. Blessings to you as you live out this scripture! Thanks, Emily for your words of hope based on Psalm 121. I am especially encouraged by the impact the scripture had on you as a result of girls’ club.

So often, we try to out entertain the other opportunities that the kids have. We need to continue to look to the hills for our strength. Thank you.

Many times in teaching Sunday School and trying to make things both interesting and a true Biblical teaching experience for children one wonders do they really remember? Do they get it?? Will this help them at some time in their life as they grow and mature? Thank you for this insight. I was encouraged when you said that you rememered this from childhood.

I like the reminder that it's not just the messy, sliding around times that we need God's help, but even in the good times we need to stay dependent on his grace and crazy love. Thank you, Emily!
