Oh, the sweetness of the daily gifts He gives... yes leftovers! such grace! And husbands with strong work ethics... thank you, thank you, thank you, Lord.

Isn't it transforming to look, to see, to give thanks?

Thank you for ministering to me tonight... giving praise to Him is what we are made for.

I appreciate you...
All's grace,
Ann
