That moment, how I thought of when we surrender to our good Lord, everything in our lives becomes a "plus" when we involve Him. Your post rings true. What a trade! No loss but gain!<br /><br />How quickly the Lord turned the situation in my son's journey to a plus. When we focus on Him, truly, the mind set becomes productive and rejoices no matter what goes on! Thank you sister Mary for always being there, feeling the support from your love and prayers. Thank you for this post!

Just the thought of it grieved me. I can't imagine being without my mom's silly little Dutch blue nicknacks, or my grandmothers old, cracked mixing bowls, or my granddad's clock. These treasures connect me to my roots.
