  1. My inspiring quote, “Being amazed and astonished is the opposite of taking everything for granted “ – Our life is a daily miracle, everything we are and everything that we have comes from God. In my opinion gratitude is the key to love God and our neighbors more, recognizing what an amazing gift life itself is.

    • So true, Clarissa. Every day is a gift. That’s why they call is the present 🙂 And miracles are all around us if only we have eyes to see. It’s a miracle I woke up this morning. It’s a miracle my house still stands. It’s a miracle my faith has got me thru some many devastating crises. It’s a miracle the daffodils are popping up already and my Christmas cactus is in bloom once again. Have a blessed day and keep looking up!
