in Thanks giving

At first glance, I know that what I am about to share may not relate to the title of my post...but, it does. Really, it does...trust me!! :)

I came across this quote, shortly after Quin passed.  It is a daily reminder of why I wake up and 'fight' every day to just survive.  So, in the spirit of 'giving thanks' I am thankful for my past.  I am thankful that my God has given me the sense to know how to use it in good.  I am thankful that through Him, I have the strength to put those learned lessons in to action.  And, I am thankful that on the days that I don't or can't, His Grace and Mercy are enough...and, He CAN!!
