I laugh and sympathize with your list of appreciations. It is amazing how the simple things in life can be so huge. What I wouldn't have given for toilet paper at certain times in my life. I just prayed for you, and I will continue to do so. Thank you for the blog so we can keep up and know how to pray for you!
