We are so glad you’re here and that you’ve chosen to spend time with us. From cover to cover, you will find stories and articles to inspire hope and encouragement and to remind you that no matter what you are facing and no matter what life brings your way, God is making all things new for you. You will find tips on how to spruce up your front porch for the season, how to cultivate true gratitude, and how to dig deeper in God’s Word. You will find true stories of faith and reassurance, and you will find truth from God’s Word. This year, and always, we are focusing on the truth that God has a plan for our lives and He makes all things new—and He tells us that in His Word over and over. You care about your faith—that’s why you picked up this magazine—and we hope that this issue helps you know and share God’s love in fresh and inspiring ways!
