FEELING BLESSED
I am blessed to receive a copy of your May 2021 Issue, Volume 5.
A soft copy the same was forwarded to me by a friend.
It is rightly said that “first impression is last impression.” “The Editorial” is very, very well written, beautifully explained what is to follow in the following pages.
More important the topic of VOCATION very properly explained. I am short of words to pay my complements, my hats off to your writing. God Bless you.
As regards the other contents, I have still to go through completely, each article is impressive. What to say – no words – my folded hands to the writers.
Regards
