I was just thinking (I know...scary prospect) and realizing how much I come to this board for support and encouragement from each of you and how starting my day and checking up on each of you is SOOOO a part of my day.
Life throws all different things at us, doesn't it? But when we band together and hold God's Hand we can walk through this life stronger and with joy in our hearts, regardless.
Sending love and prayers to each of us today. May our loving God hold each of us close as we walk - may He comfort those of us who need comforting - may He help us to reach out in love to others who need encouragement and most of all may He give us His peace to accept the things we cannot change.
