I loved reading this...I feel like I know you a little better now! Ummm, can you please advise on the strength to abstain from sugar? Because I don't seem to know how to do that.
Oh Kandi..it's a constant struggle for me. I fail alot but am so happy when I can go a day without it! It is like a drug. I do cherish my sugar free hot chocolate though! :)
And I am so blessed to have such a wonderfull person in my life-and that my friend is YOU!
Your thankful heart humbles me. I read the list twice and I will read it again. I am thankful for a sister who listens to me when I should be listening to her. Happy Thanksgiving to my sister who I love very much.
I am thankful for your friendship and constant companionship in Christ!
