The Lord gives, and The Lord takes away... blessed be the name of the Lord. I have seen what it is to lose almost everything and through the power of forgiveness and the grace of God, He gave everything back to me and my children. I am so greatful not just for the big things but the little things too. Not only having a house to live in or an in-tact family, but for this warm mug of coffee in front of me and calm mornings like this one...and creature comforts like electricity!! The list goes on and on. :) @paradise-found already read it but if anyone else who is reading my comment wants to know my story here's the link: https://steemit.com/family/@snowpea/wedding-day
