Hi, Stephen: One of the amazing things in life is when you can see your blessings, even when they seem few and far between. I've had times in my life where everything I could have imagined went wrong (along with a lot of things I couldn't imagine.) Despite so much fear and uncertainty, I would sometimes break into a big grin, and thank the Lord that I was so blessed. I know it didn't seem rational, but it got me through some hard times. It takes a good man to feel gratitude for life when things are going well. It takes a great man, when they aren't.
