Exploring Thankfulness
"Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has plenty; not on your past misfortunes of which all men have some." –Charles Dickens
A Tapestry of Grace
All too often we busy ourselves with the ragged underside view of our tapestries; the knots and threads appearing random and without design.
