I challenged a few of my friends to identify five things that are positive in their lives. I found it interesting that all of them said the first thing they were thankful for was being alive. What that says I am not sure....

A friend of mine is a foster mom and she was doing foster relief for a child in another foster home. The child was arriving Christmas day and staying for a month. I took a Christmas search and find book, several polly pocket sets and a game so that she would feel… Continue
