as I read your poem, I thought to myself, "Why then, do I complain?" I forget the wisdom and depth you've expressed here, Nicely done, hubby, Sara

We all fall short of the thankfulness and gratitude we should be feeling and expressing, Sara. Fortunately, God understands and forgives. Smiles ~ Blessings Bill
