I read each of your posts this evening and got caught up, although I have received forwarded emails and was aware of most of your "adventure"to this point. I have to say I have been reading with tears in my eyes as you have reminded me once again how great a gift we have in gratitude. I hear the pain and struggle in your words, but the gratitude speaks even louder. Gratitude has a way of doing that, doesn't it. I guess that is why our Wise Creator has instructed us to give thanks in all things. He knows that the only way through difficulty and struggle is by connecting to Him in gratitude. Thank you for your honesty and your example of gratitude that have both encouraged and inspired me tonight.
