-Making Dasha smile and laugh and say "Diana stop making me smile!"

I can go on forever. God has blessed my life, and the thing I love the most out if everything is the fact that His love is undeserved but free for the taking. Who am I that He could be mindful of me? He has blessed me with a list of things so long that it could coil around the planet earth an infinite number of times. Thank You God not just for the things, but for You. Dwell on the things you love, and God's love, it is very encouraging to have this kind of mindset... Have a blessed Tuesday!
