I love your lists of thanks to God...it's wonderful how you appreciate the little things. I don't mean to be intrusive but what are the shots for? I've known for a bit that you are not well but haven't quite mustered the courage to ask about it but I thought I should otherwise I don't know what I'm praying for exactly. Thanks for leaving such encouraging comments on my blog!
