The Friday Feature w/ Sean: Refuel, Fist Bump, Know You Are Loved
Many people stop at travel centers such as Buc-ee’s to refuel, to take a break. Let’s find a moment this Easter weekend to refuel on hope - on faith - and know that we are loved. Let’s take a moment to fist bump someone to let them know they are loved. On this Good Friday, let’s brake to remember that Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice for us. We all need hope. Keep pushing forward. We will see you next Friday. Week 159 of #TheFridayFeature.

Nurse logs nurture and make way for the next generation. Don’t forget those special people that helped you grow! Welcome to Week 158 of #TheFridayFeature.
