#837--Knowing how painful it can be when church leaders DON'T listen or care, you are grace-full to be thankful when they are. Happy for you, thankful on your behalf, and prayerful for some of our leaders who aren't quite there yet.

#836 - Thank you for the reminder. I sometimes take this for granted.

The taxes. Yes, I have a husband who does that, too. I don't think I told him thank you, though. Snowdrops?

It's been in the 70's here for the past few days. So glad your snow is melting!

I came from Ann’s again today.

My favorite from your list? 848. Melting! (first of all it reminds me of the Wizard of Oz – and second – good riddance to the snow :)

Thank you. God Bless.

Such a wonderful list, it's hard to pick one. But I'm with Dawn on this one . . . #849. I have been going from blog to blog reading these lists -- some with stories, etc. And yes, they all echo the one big story --- God is good! Thank you for sharing your list! It was a blessing once again to be here!
