Thursday, November 26 View Page
I hope and pray for the ability in all of us to be grateful for the little things, not just the big ones. Things like electricity, gas powered mobility, hot water from a tap, the sunshine, and the clouds, grocery stores, the smile of a child and the knowledge of a senior citizen and the fact that they both can share.
