(i really was going to email you) :)<br /><br />i am sorry you hurt your back, it makes doing just about anything hard. <br /><br />i have read Ann's book. I understand A Rosy Note's comment. i love how Ann writes, but i have to read it in small doses to savor each word. seems like each word is full of meaning and i can't take it all in at once. <br /><br />there is a reason God tells us to give thanks for everything...and being content...it is a learned thing, it does not come naturally to any of us. i am still working on both with God's help.<br /><br />love you Lee Ann, and praying for complete healing.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15425904812918507490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6601957854918310372.post-74952997462686751332011-09-13T20:38:14.821-07:002011-09-13T20:38:14.821-07:00Oh, Lee Ann that's awful about your back...ouc...Oh, Lee Ann that's awful about your back...ouch. I'm glad to hear you're on the mend. I've been reading the One Thousand Gifts book too on and off. I don't know...I just don't love the way she writes...I love the message though. I just started the book Heaven by Randy Alcorn. One of my wonderful blog friends recommended it to me after my kitty died since it has a section in there about animals.<br /><br />I see a lot of people doing those thankful lists on their blogs. I just love that...it turns the focus of our thoughts to the positive.<br /><br />Hope you have a good week :)Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00974419983321226169noreply@blogger.com
