Being thankful for all that passes through our lives...the big events and the little ones as well makes all the difference. I am learning that the little things fit into the bigger picture. When we are thankful for even the smallest of gifts our gratitude becomes greater and our grace grows. Here is my continuing list of all gifts great and small...
