Thanksgiving

Gratitude Renewed!

Since the death of my son, I’ve had to do intentional personal work to focus on daily gratitude. Raw grief has the ability to hover and loom so heavy, that it blocks one sense of gratitude for other parts of life. However, my faith in God’s Word helped to open me up to the truth of God’s Word.
