Giving Thanks
As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, I am feeling very grateful for so many things. Blessings that come to mind in no particular order include:
Clean running water that is safe to drink.
A husband who is kind, gentle and generous, and supremely patient with my unconventional ways that sometimes go beyond his comfort zone.
High speed internet .
A refrigerator with the freezer on the bottom - I honestly don't know why they are made any other way!
Rich relationships with siblings, cousins, friends, children, grandchildren.
The gift of literacy.
Fresh tomatoes from our garden, picked green before the frost that were wrapped carefully in newspaper and stowed away in the basement. LOVELY to have such yummies just now getting ripe in chilly November!
The new PalmPilot I got for my birthday from my brother. Thanks Wayne!
But most of all, of course, is the knowledge that I am a child of God and that He has a plan for me. I'm still trying to figure out what that plan is, but I've learned to trust that ALL things will ultlimately work out for good as I trust in Him.
