MY SONG IN THE NIGHT
What is My Song In The Night (MSITN) all about? The following introductions is taken from Bethany's web site concerning this new series of devotion.
"The Evening Years"
Many look forward to their retirement so that their life can be less stressful. Working life for many years is indeed challenging. But the evening years of retirement can prove as stressful!
Life as a Senior can be fraught with difficulties. We can be so troubled that we have sleepless nights. We struggle with frail health, family tensions, dark fears and more!
A Special Series of Devotions
This special series of devotions is especially written for all who may be struggling with feelings of despair. We will be seeking to read from the Scriptures that we may find comfort and encouragement.
Past devotionals are included and are also translated into Chinese.
