To be grateful is to recognize the Love of God in everything He has given us - and He has given us everything. Every breath we draw is a gift of His love, every moment of existence is a grace, for it brings with it immense graces from Him.

A story has no beginning or end: arbitrarily one chooses that moment of experience from which to look back or from which to look ahead. ↗
