Hi, I’m Rosie Boom. My grandfather had this quote written in the back of his Bible: There is no better use of the word of God than to turn it into prayers.

Hi, I’m Rosie Boom. In one of her books, Amy Carmichael, missionary to India,  writes of the little joys that spring up beside our path like flowers, often unnoticed except by those who are looking for them.

Hi, I’m Rosie Boom. In Luke 10 we read of Jesus visiting his friends, Martha, Mary and Lazarus.
