@MaryMamuzich I'm praying! ❤️
@Kruselady it's getting warm where you are! But hard winds are not nice..
Springtime in Finland means melting snow and temperatures above 0°C... +4°C today. 😀 Then you can eat outside.
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! ❤️
