Were it not for God, who was with us… (Psalm 124:1, Psalm 124:2)

Looking back at the twists and turns of our lives, we can see the subtle and not-so-subtle influence of Divine inspiration, and guidance that has led us to this miraculous moment. My father-in-law would often say, “It could be worse,” setting him on a path to gratefulness. It is a perspective that takes nothing for granted, and opens us up to the blessing of now.
