50 best things about moving to a new town

by Kelly J. Stigliano

A fresh start is a good thing. It gives you a chance to begin anew with a “clean slate” and that’s always good.

Everyone is a little nervous, but your apprehension brings you closer to Christ and your family learns to depend upon each other more than before. By sharing everyone’s experiences daily, you support each other in scary situations, comfort each other in sad circumstances, and encourage one another to explore the countless possibilities of ministries out there.

God is your Guide, your Comforter, and your Leader. He has many new adventures, experiences, and ministries for you and your very blessed family.  Rejoice for the opportunity!

Here is a list to serve as a reminder during doubtful or uncomfortable days
