Ouch! I STILL cringe at the thoughts of my private mortifications. They still ring brightly despite the passing years. Thanks for sharing yours. I can assure you that others are far more forgiving of us than we are of ourselves.

I am also grateful for the things God cannot do, for in them I find strength. A very short list of them would include: He cannot find a mountain He cannot climb; He cannot find an ocean He cannot reach the bottom of; He cannot find, in all of the eternities, a single moment where He did not love us, no matter how unlovable we may have thought ourselves. Yes, I'm grateful for the things God cannot do...

The wise and wonderful perspectives in the last half of this article should be shouted from the rooftops! I love the way Maurine puts the puzzle pieces together to form such a new, clear, insightful picture of gratitude. I'm uplifted and inspired by her words! Darla Isackson

This article is right on the mark! It makes "big" things seem small when compared to the love of God and his power.
