How true this statement is! I have a daughter right now in Spain and I live in the United States. We can easily skype or use video messenger to visit with each other pretty much anytime we want (keeping in mind the time difference of course). J The last time we visited I couldn\u2019t get the camera to work on my end and we ended up just talking without seeing each other. I was a little annoyed at first but quickly realized, just as this quote says, what a miracle we were experiencing in that we were talking so easily and clearly with each other even though she was thousands of miles away (5,257 miles to be exact).

The list of miracles and daily blessings goes on and on. What a marvelous day and age to live in! Let\u2019s not lose sight of all the good that surrounds us!<\/p>\n
What have you been most grateful for this past week? I invite you to share in the comments below.<\/p>\n
Love,<\/p>\n
