Heroes
Gratitude Hero: Billie
Submitted by As a child I saw my mother as anything but a hero, but when I became a parent I found out what a Hero truly is. I never realized that super powers could be wisdom, understanding, and patience when it comes to raising our children. It wasn't until ... Read moreGratitude Hero: JOSUA

Quotes
In ordinary life we hardly realize that we receive a great deal more than we give, and that it is only with gratitude that life becomes rich.

Now is no time to think of what you do not have. Think of what you can do with what there is.
If you can't reward then you should thank.
