You can tell the minute "thankfulness" leaves you - you begin to get critical ---
When I am unthankful - I get critical --
Like the getting even with the ones who have helped me - way good -- |

I'm very grateful today. My daughter passed all of TAKS tests, I saw my grandson on Saturday (grin), Greg got me an oven and boy have been using it. It's beautiful this week here in Allen, and life is peaceful right now.
Thank you, Lord! |
