Am I Thankful that today is day 5 of being laid up? Can anyone be Thankful for such a thing? But one must face the clouds to see the silver lining.
(Remember to pause my Christmas to listen to this song)
I don't like that I have/had medical issues pretty much all my life, but God, my faith, my hope, allows me the strength to rise above and beyond it. Without God, where would I be? Without FAITH, without HOPE! So yes, I am Thankful that even with all it's challenges I CAN continue on as God has planned.
I am very Thankful, while being blessed, to have my family. With them, it is truely beginning to look like Christmas, even without all the decorations. My life and house has already been decorated with love, that bells and tinsle can't replace. I am Thankful that my daughter, with her busy schedule, took the time to come over and put out a few things. God's work, working!
Am I Thankful my children are having issues in their adult lives? With FAITH, with HOPE, and with GOD, I know they too will rise above it and grow in ways only God has planned for them. They will learn what He has intended, for them to grow into the people He had planned for them from the day I gave them to Him. I would give my life for my children, and at times it came really close. It was God who allowed me to continue to nurture and love His additions to my life, to raise them in His glory and yes, be Thankful for all the bumpy roads, steep hills, and potholes along the way. With Him, all things are POSSIBLE!
