A Touch of Grace

I just love this show, what a marvelous idea!! Thank you !! I listen to a number of episodes at one time using the play next option and it’s always a warm treasure and a reminder of the good all over the world. If uncertain or uneasy wondering if you should offer help , don’t hesitate, it will keep going forward.
