Finally now that January is halfway over, here I am trying to fulfill my desire to blog more regularly in 2017. I have done a huge amount of reflecting over the past weeks. With this reflecting comes the knowledge that 2016 was, in my life, one of the best and the worst of years. Have you had that kind of year? If so, you know what I mean.
The year 2016 made me a Gramma at last! Sweet Grandbaby was the biggest treasure to come from 2016. She continues to bless my life daily and the lives of all those who love her.
The year 2016 was, too, the worst of years....my worst since 1991 when The Girl was diagnosed with diabetes. I won't go into the pain and fear that my family suffered in 2016, but I want to be sure that you know that again, MY GOD has provided His grace, mercy, and love through it all. 2016 saw me with my face in the carpet on a regular basis pouring out my heart to Him and hallelujah! He ALWAYS hears! And while sometimes His answers to my prayers are maybe not the answers I want or expect, they are the right answers.
My family is one of my dearest blessings. They are, after my Lord and Savior, my world.
So this day in the middle of January of a new year, I want to let you know that I am blessed daily with joy indescribable and blessings beyond any that I deserve. Now, when I leave The Sweet Grandbaby and she tries to wave goodbye, she comes to me and gives me the most beautiful slobber kisses I have ever had. Right smack in my face. Slobber kisses that remind me that God supplies and provides every day of my life and will always do so.
And all God's people said, "Amen!"
