 a true woman who trusts in the peace of God, she cultivates thankfulness. Thankful God? No, I'm not thankful. That day, I could not truly say that I was thankful for this slice of the crisis buffet that you served me. I was angry. I was hurt. I was fearful. I had no idea how our family would ever be. In fact, someone said, one of our children says, this is a defining moment in our family.
