I loved your list. I am putting together a little Saturday morning six week study to reread 1,000 Gifts. Wished you lived next door and could join me.

Fondly,
Glenda

Thank you dear cousin for your faithful prayers over my cowboy. Thank you God for answering prayers of many - not just for my needs but for the many answered prayers for others across the world. This past month has been a blurr. Caught in the amazement of God's miracles.
