Thankgiving is right around the corner. I am holding my six-week old granddaughter. I am so thankful for her new life. This morning I saw many...too many people who were suffering; one lady in her 70's battleing breast cancer; another man with two handicaped children; the face of a tired, worn woman in poverty. Everywhere people are hurting. I realized that my struggles are simple, meant just for me, handcrafted for me by a loving God to help my vision become clearer to the pains and suffering in the world around me. And as God's message sank into my soul, I felt the graditude rushing up from the deepest parts of me. I am so very blessed to have wonderful family members who call me daily; friends who call and come by to spread joy; grandchildren who fast and pray for me; babies I can snuggle with; a husband who does all he can to make me comfortable and a comfortable home filled with plenty.
