few odds and ends to finish for school and we are picking up Rachel & Cody from Eastern... Yay!
It will be so nice to have everybody together under one roof for a couple
days at least.
Thankfulness is defined as being aware and appreciative of a benefit,
being grateful or expressing gratitude. It is easy for me in the day
to day struggle of life to forget my blessings... or to focus on the struggles instead of what we have.
It has never been easy to juggle doctor visits, fill prescriptions,
make sure blood work gets done, etc. it is even harder while working...
It is also hard to schedule around college breaks.
Yet we have come so far and I am truly thankful. It seems like yesterday
but 10 years ago Cody spent 10 days in the hospital the week of
Thanksgiving. (We actually met the doctor who would become Rachel's
rheumatologist) And although some days now are extremely rough...
I am aware things could be so much worse.
I am thankful for Mike's cancer being in remission. For phlebotomists who
can soothe a nervous 11 year old and make an unpleasant item not as bad as it could be. I am thankful for heating blankets to take the chill of of stiff
joints in the morning. For doctors that call late at night after their own
long days to put a worried Mama's fears at rest. For medicine that takes the edge off of pain and allows boys to play soccer and girls to dance.
I am thankful for the Lord's provision in a 1000 different ways. Mostly
I am thankful for a God who has proved Himself faithful time and time
again even when I have been faithless.
