Hi everyone, welcome to Add Home with Sally. I'm Sally Clarkson and I have the biggest

privilege in the world to be with so many friends from all over the world who join me every

now because I'm late today. I'm just not getting the verse reference. Okay. So Peter, you know,

he's talking and he's encouraging and he's saying all these wonderful things in this

letter and first Peter. And it says basically in verse 7, first Peter 4, verse 7, he says
