Good morning Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. I’ve so many things to be grateful for, but the best is the blessings that God has bestowed on me thru His Grace. I have endured cancer, COVID and a heart attack, but God has been with me thru all of it. What’s not to be grateful for? Have a blessed day today and always.

Grateful to me falls into the same category as the air we breathe. You can't survive long without being grateful for anything you have.
