A. has still had to go to the office each day.<br /><br />That's a good point about minor/major "anxieties and disasters." What's the saying? "If we mind the pennies, the pounds take care of themselves"? Perhaps trust and gratitude operate in similar fashion. Food for thought, anyway.<br /><br />Grace and peace to you, friend!tinuvielhttp://www.crumbsfromhistable.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-86563362162856229.post-5316626486991375982011-10-13T17:03:38.527-05:002011-10-13T17:03:38.527-05:00Thank you for the encouragement.

So now, you've given both me and you a lesson in faith. :).

(I worried y'all might worry. I nearly logged on just for the gratitude list part so you'd know all was well, but then a dose of reality showed me I was thinking far too highly of myself. Grin.)<br /><br />As you say, all is well and God cares for us always.
