Pray for your priests!A dear friend sent me this and I knew others would want to see it too.
In the "Wilds of Wisconsin & Cornfields of Iowa" 
Praying.
Our AC has been out of sorts at my church. People complain. I say, I see two trucks that are from an AC company everyday, so I know they are working on it. I see others can’t be more positive for our priest, our Pastor. I am not sad nor angry. Just wish we could all be a bit more uplifting to our priest.
Praying for you as well ❤
