Last week I shared a note I recently wrote to a lady who had left me a note on my website. This week I want to share one more. This note was to a lady who said she had read Tender Grace four times in six months!

Well, she had her reasons.

I am so sorry to hear that you lost your sister and soul mate. I have a sister, two years younger than I, who is so dear to me, and I can imagine your anguish. But I was glad to hear you are considering a trip and that you are going to trust God to lead you in the days ahead. I hope you see again and again that he is the “Faithful One.“

I’ve heard of people re-reading Tender Grace, but four times in six months must be a record. If you have done that, it must be because you saw all the things I was hoping readers would see.

And that has encouraged me. Thanks again.

I have always liked to think I would have been the one leper out of ten who would have fallen at the feet of Jesus to say, “Thank you.“

A thankful heart is one of the keys to happy, emotionally healthy living. I try to spend time every day thanking God for what He has done and is doing in my life and the lives of those I love. This gratitude makes all the difference.

It’s kind of funny, I suppose, to thank people who have written to thank me, but it means a lot to me. It’s all I can do sometimes not to look out my window and say, “Would you look at this, Lord.“ So for any of you readers who have taken time to say you’ve enjoyed something I’ve written—Bless you.
