ALWAYS APPRECIATE THE LITTLE THINGSA married lady was expecting a birthday gift from her husband. For many months she had admired a beautiful diamond ring in a showroom, and knowing her husband could afford it, she told him that was all she wanted.As her birthday approached, this lady awaited signs that her husband had purchased the diamond ring. Finally, on the morning of her birthday, her husband called her into his study room. Her husband told her how

proud he was to have such a good wife, and told her how much he loved her. He handed her a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious, the wife opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the wife's name embossed in gold. Angrily, she raised her voice to her husband and said, "With all your money you give me a Bible? And stormed out of the house, leaving her husband.Many years passed and the lady was very successful in business.. She managed to settle for a more beautiful house and a wonderful family, but realized her ex-husband was very old, and thought perhaps she should go to visit him. She had not seen him for many years. But before she could make arrangements, she received a telegram telling her that her ex-husband had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to her. She needed to come back immediately and take care of things. When she arrived at her ex-husband's house, sudden sadness and regret filled her heart. She began to search through her ex-husband's important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as she had left it years before.With tears, she opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. Her ex-husband had carefully underlined a verse, Matt 7:11, "And if you, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Heavenly Father, who is in heaven, give to those who ask Him?"As she read those words, a tiny package dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a diamond

ring, with her name engraved on it -- the same diamond ring which she saw at the showroom. On the tag was the date of her birth, and the words...'LUV U ALWAYS'... How many times do we miss God's blessings, because they are not packaged as we expected? I trust you enjoyed this. Pass it on to others.Do not spoil what you have, by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.IF YOUR GIFT IS NOT PACKAGED THE WAY YOU WANT IT, IT'S BECAUSE IT IS BETTER PACKAGED THE WAY IT IS! ALWAYS APPRECIATE LITTLE THINGS; THEY USUALLY LEAD YOU TO BIGGER THINGS! "The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched.. They must be felt with the heart.

When Cam posted that she had read my story, I don't know why...but it kind of

suprised me. It shouldn't have. I guess I'm so used to people just staring at

me & half-assed listening to my lenthy story, that I get a little taken-a-back

when someone shows interest. When I joined this group last Christmas, I was

borderline suicidal and only had scant information about my flatback condition.

All I had was my disfiguring condition & my dogs...neither of which are much for

conversation. This group has given me so much invaluable information. Reading

everyone's posts and looking at their before & after pictures, restored my hope.

I can't thank you all enough for me being able to find a qualified surgeon.

This group has made my last year and 3 months of waiting for Medicare (7 months

left) bareable. It's been the longest & hardest wait of my life. I just wanted

everyone in the group know how much I appreciated your interaction. It helps me

stay plugged into the human race instead of rotting in front of the TV. Thanks

again.....Kathy

July 15, 2010

Oh Kathy, I'm going to go read your story right now!! This group is VERY special

and whenever you are down, all you have to do is come here and you will always

get a response. This place is so special because each and every one of us CARES.

We know it, we live or have lived it and some of us, if we are lucky enough, get

on the the other side! Your story is just as important as the next person's.

Don't waste any energy thinking twice about the people who have listened to you

half-heartedly - you will never experience that here. You've come to the right

place! I'm off to read your story..........
