Did you know that the majority of the prayers in Melissa's private journal were thank yous? Thank yous for her boyfriend, thank yous for answered prayer, thank yous for special friends, and my personal favorite, "Thank you for my Mom!" Even though Melissa was in cancer treatment at the time, she deliberately focused on the good in her life. Therein lies the secret of true happiness--- to focus on all that God has given us, and to say "Thank you!" Thank you for reading this! - Gratefully, Melissa's Mom
