For todays Praise Thursday we shared some inspiration from Our Daily Bread! One of our devotions was called “He Knows My Name”. Sometimes we feel unseen and unappreciated but be assured, God knows each of us by name. To read more click HERE. Our other devotional was called “Quarantined by Fear”. Sometimes all we need is to shift our focus on God to help us overcome our fears and anxieties. To read more click HERE.

Remember Friendster and MySpace? These two services completely changed the way we communicate with friends, family, and even random strangers when you think about it. The founding of some of the largest social media platforms came much later: Facebook in 2004, Twitter in 2006, Instagram in 2010, and even programs like Facebook Messenger and Snapchat in 2011.
In fact, what you’re reading right now IS social media! Through the internet, we are blessed to have easy access to whatever we may be curious about! So to celebrate, text that old friend from high school that you’ve never had time to reach out to, and tell them “Happy Social Media Day!”
