  1. 🙂 I love this little offering of gratefulness, Deb. You have a contagious joy that shines out through your words. And that poem about gratefulness… that is going right into my journal. Thank you for sharing that. It is amazing how we share things but never know just what will touch a heart but God does, and since you are willing to let Him lead you in this place, He is opening doors of blessing in ways you will never be able to fully realize.

    Blessings
    Dawn
