Thankful And Grateful

Good evening! Tuesday blog! That is what I am! You all warm my heart with your love and prayers! God willing, I will see lots of classmates in September! It will be our 50th, spread out over the weekend! I cannot wait! Denny’s 50th, in 2011, was also a weekend event! His dated handprint is in one of the hallways at Whitmer High for proof! He was thankful that we got to go! It was fun! God willing we will be back in church soon! Will any of us be able to hug again? I don’t dwell on these things, but I ask God, I present these questions to myself! Things to ponder! I do have a grateful heart! I do love that song! I don’t have enough words, internet or paper to express my feelings over the past seven years! Thankful for our children, with their father every chance they got! Helping me! I truly am blessed! I was not thankful for my home growing up! I left at 17! Now at 67, I am back and live with mom! I appreciate it now! My dad and my husband are both gone! It was a big undertaking for mom to give up a lot of space for us! We are all thankful! The kids don’t have to worry about me being in the city! My mom doesn’t have to worry the way moms do! The park across the street, is truly a gift for me to enjoy! The virus gave me a walking buddy- daughter! I grab my phone as soon as I wake up, to see who read my blog! Warms my heart, makes me smile and I pray I say something worth reading! I do love all of you! We are connected in many ways throughout my 67 years! I am connected to generations of cousins across the USA! Seeing pictures of cousins and all of the new babies, that just keep coming! This virus really squashed my family time, I have FaceTime and Zoom! So, I can see all of the faces I love! It’s tough seeing my first great grand baby growing by camera, but thankful for technology, to see and hear his precious little voice! I am really thankful for my relationship with God! The stress of caregiving and my love for Denny, drew me closer! To lean on God heavily! I have lost precious time with my family, like all of you! I do not question God! He has held me in His hands for 67 years! He has seen me and been with me through a mountain of pain and the circumstances that go with it! God is my rock, He alone has His reasons for this season in my life! With Him, I can be patient! Don’t let anger and bitterness rob you! Time does not go in reverse! Give thanks with a grateful heart! 1 Thessalonians 5:18 Good night! God bless!❤️🤗🙏🏻🤗❤️
