FIFTH THOUSAND – 10,000
Reasons
My challenge is to compile 10,000 Reasons for my gratitude to
God for His goodness. It commenced on January 22. This fifth thousand spans the
days of March 3 to 12, 2018. My first thousand can be found here. My second thousand can be found here. My third thousand can be found here. My fourth thousand can be found here.
