This is such an inspiring story about the power of prayer and proclaiming God's truth. Brenda Epperson (a Hollywood actress etc) felt an urge for 1,5 years to pray for their property. It was saved during the huge wildfires in California in 2018. Their home became a safe haven to people that had lost their homes.

@DevotionalTreasures such a great song!
@TakeN yes, most private apartments and houses have a sauna. There are some public saunas as well.
"Depending on the source of your stats, between 60 and 90 percent of Finnish people have a sauna at least once a week. The accessibility of saunas in Finns’ everyday lives is visible in the sheer number of saunas: there are 3.3 million of them in Finland, which has a population of 5.5 million." Welcome to Finland 🇫🇮 and try a Finnish sauna! They are in every house, even our.

@sinbach "quality duct tapin'", yes sir! 😂
@Knittinggrace haha, I have to reveal that the guy who invented the "Very Finnish problems" concept on SOME and even wrote a book about it, is a Brit living in Finland. He doesn't want to be worse than the Swedes, I suppose. And it's common to joke about Swedes here, like Swedes joke about Finns and Norwegians.

@tanjaostman , my experience has been similar on DD. Just uplifting, refreshing, a place that speaks of family in Christ. My husband and I who grew up "going" to church 3 times a week and more have been on a journey for the last several years in our faith and in our understanding of what the Church is and how precious the church is to Christ. Sometimes, the irony is so great: our understanding has enlarged about Christ and His bride, but the living out of it with others has felt small and often lonely to me in that so few seem to understand how to gather and "be" in Christ together without it having to be in a traditional church setting. We hunger for that mutual enjoyment of Christ. I find DD to be one of the first platforms I've found this.
It's going to be so wonderful when we get to meet face to face someday! Blessings to you in Finland, our dear sister.
@Williams_girl thanks for those words! I agree with you! Blessings to you!
@MaryMamuzich thank you! ❤️
I am overwhelmed and touched by the response I got here, when asking for prayer by people I have never met. ❤️ ❤️ 🙏 This is the body of Christ! There are many people here who take their faith seriously, and I am happy to connect! It’s not very easy to know whom to follow here, and connect with, since most profiles don’t say much. Sometimes it’s frustrating to take the time to write, and don’t get a single like or comment. But I have noticed that that’s the case for most on DD. We should connect more! Yesterday I wanted to renew my old profile picture on all social media, and had to make the change on FB to get it to Messenger. I got an overwhelming response from my friends there when they thought that I was back on FB, since I have been invisible there since Dec. 20, after being super active for 13 years. It reminded me that I miss a lot of people. But there are so many things that I don’t miss on FB, especially all time waste on meaningless arguments, censorship, ads etc.
@Debbie Thank you Debbie for taking the time to give good advice and your prayers! I so much appreciate it! I hadn’t heard about choline. Yes, hot and cold water change is great for the immune system and mood as well. I use to do that! I need to find someone who offers good hormonal tests, because medical doctors don’t do them here. I don’t know the reason why.
@Fisherman he should look up The truth about cancer! They are even here on DD. They have done research around the world and interviewed doctors who treat cancer patients with natural, non-toxic methods. You find testimonies by TTAC on YouTube by persons with death sentences that have survived and thrive. They bring so much hope! Juice fasting and even intermittent fasting can help the immunsystem to reset even with cancer. Look up essiac tea (it's powerful herbs) .
@TakeN thanks for the prayers! I appreciate it. 🙏
@DevotionalTreasures Thank you! Amen! 🙏
