I came across a post I had written, but not finished, from last November. It was about gratitude. Since it wasn't completed nor published then, let me express what I was trying to say then… now...
I know how blessed I am. Incredibly. My husband and I are able to provide for ourselves and live in a comfortable home. We have relatively good health. Our home is simple, but warm and safe. After 10 years of marriage I think we have this thing figured out - we love each other and we like each other. My husband told me the other day that he has never had a relationship where he trusted someone so much. I'm honored.
I love my family - I can't imagine this world without them in it. I have a brand spankin' new beautiful grand-niece born just a week after my dad passed away. Another grand-niece is due in about a month. The cycle of life.
We are expecting our second grandson this coming summer. Our nearly three year old grandson is doing great, as are his parents. They have made the decision to make the sacrifices necessary for her to stay home with their kids. We are proud of them and they are doing well.
I have incredible friends who have supported me through thick and thin, and who are infinitely patient with me.
So this is just a little snip of all the things for which I'm profoundly grateful. Things aren't perfect, and I certainly have an endless list of things I need to change about myself. But I know I'm a daughter of God and He loves me. And I have a deep and profound faith in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which gives me peace that surpasses understanding. I wish for you the same. (Learn about it here…)
Cheers
