A Tender Mercy

I try to be grateful for the "little" things in my life and to notice "tender mercies." I try to instill in my children that same sense of gratitude for those little things and tender mercies. Last evening as he was heading for bed, Mark noted (with a smile on his face as he spoke): "Well, today passed without incident." Yes, it was "incident" free--at least where Mark was concerned. It has not always been the case, but today it was. And I'm grateful.
