thanks DIcky…now go and transform the world! God bless you!
This is so good. I try to be thankful for all things in my heart to God daily. Even the ups and downs. Somehow by the end of the day they all work out. Is that not the God we love? God Bless, SR

I like that as offering our “downs” as a sacrifice of praise. That I will keep with me. Thanks for posting that. God Bless, SR
