GOD CREATED EACH OF US AND WE ARE UNIQUE  IN EVERY WAY. 

REMEMBER EVEN TO THE THIEF ON THE CROSS JESUS SAD…THIS DAY THOU SHALL BE WITH ME….THE WOMAN WHO TOUCHED THE HEM OF HIS GARMENT WAS IMPORTANT ENOUGH THAT HE FELT THE TOUCH…THE BLIND, THE SICK AND THE DEAD, .JESUS TOUCHED, HEALED BROUGHT TO NEW LIFE.
