BELATED THANKS

My usual Thanksgiving post was delayed this year.  I was busy hurting.  I decided today would be a good day to share my thanks.

Of course, still amidst all, my most thankful is my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and the salvation he paid for just for me.  I'm so thankful I accepted him as my Lord and Savior 57 years ago.  Seems like yesterday.

Then of course is my family.....a husband who loves, a daughter who made me a mama, one of the best gifts to me on this earth.  There's a Son-in-Law who considers me the perfect mother-in-law and I consider him a perfect Son-in-Law....and then there's The Grandbaby who brings me endless joy on and on and on.





There's the thanks for an extended family...and the provision of health and medical problems with those in this area.

Thanks continue for a sweet church with freedom to worship and a church family who love and care and show it.

There's thanks for friends near and far, old and new who keep in touch and say, "I'm praying for you". 

Thanks for rainbows in the midst of trials, provisions of a heavenly Father, warm blankets, hugs from little ones, and lessons learned even in the age of senior adulting.  

There's so much more I could list but I've found thanks this year especially for medical people, caregivers and health aids.  I've learned the value of cast boots, artificial hips, potty chairs with handles, walkers and canes.

So even though it's 5 days late, I say as the lyrics to the children's song I love so dearly....

Dear Lord, we vow to thank you for all the good you give....for birds and trees for skies and seas, the world in which we live.  Dear Lord, we vow to thank you for family and friends...for food and for your faithfulness, your love which never ends.

Consider....
