I get caught up in all that's wrong sometimes that I'm so glad that God stops me to show me the good. Thank you for giving me another reason to love our country--we have so many giving, serving people like you who serve as missionaries in other countries. Wow. Thank you!<br /><br />Blessings-<br />ChristineChristine Leebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00977682154027653277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8867905475651337648.post-33647776463215047422014-11-16T19:24:22.449-08:002014-11-16T19:24:22.449-08:00Amen, Tara!

I am very thankful for our country though, serving as a missionary in another country cemented that feeling, in large part because of the cleanliness of our country in comparison to where we were serving.<br />Blessings.Jennifer Pepitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14358677933298039111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8867905475651337648.post-44958993904991773832014-11-12T19:27:03.187-08:002014-11-12T19:27:03.187-08:00I think sometimes it is so easy to see the negativ...I think sometimes it is so easy to see the negative and not the good.
