A story of gratitude and blessings through difficult times!
I have read, and am now rereading “One Thousand Gifts”, a book on thankfulness.
Changed my way of thinking about “giving thanks in all things” (1 Thess. 5:17-18 “pray without ceasing, ) give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you”.)
I wrote to the website for the book and shared an experience that my husband and I had last month in Hawaii, and guess what? They published my “gift”. You can see it at:

Matthew 22:37
Jesus said, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence.’ This is the most important, the first on any list. But there is a second to set alongside it: ‘Love others as well as you love yourself.’ These two commands are pegs; everything in God’s Law and the Prophets hangs from them.”
