Book Journal: If I’m Found

“Starting immediately thank God for every gift He gives, from those as small as a whiff of honeysuckle or jasmine in your backyard to the realization that you just had a few mementos without back pain, to really big things like the fact that (people you love) are in the next room safe and sound.

Overall rating 3.5/5
