I, too, often forget to thank God for the downpour of love and grace with which we are constantly showered. That’s why we have each other as sisters and brothers – we remind one another that we live in a reign (forgive the dreadful pun) of grace and that we are to be, at the very least, grateful.

Paul

Your simple sharing of your rejoicing in life is a blessing. Such celebration of life is something I have been very poor at, even when I was very healthy, blessed as I continue to be with love from my wife, Ruth, and my daughter, Robyn, love from many friends, and a satisfying career that provided for our needs and my daughter’s education. I have spent too much time worrying and fretting, and not enough time celebrating, with thanksgiving to God, a tasty pizza, beautiful flowering plants, the Santa Cruz mountains surrounding Los Gatos, CA, the spectacular Pacific Ocean just over those mountains, etc. Now I am in the Pacific Northwest and today we saw Mount Hood covered with snow, and I forgot to thank our loving God for this spectacular sight. Please continue to share your love of God’s simple gifts with us.
