Being Thankful

Today is a new day, and today I want to appreciate every single thing in my life. Have you ever just made that effort? Thank you God that I woke up, that I had a bed to sleep in, that I ate breakfast; for the wonderful family you have given me. The list goes on in my heart, and mind. Let us not take anything for granted. My sweet Mama told me, "the older you get, the faster time flies by" She is so right! I can't believe my girls are 28, and that I am 50. I remember when I thought 50 was old! I want to enjoy this day completely, but the thought of bills and money always crop their ugly heads. So, I am asking God to help me with this. I surrender it all to him, all my worries. I can hear Dolly Parton and Braid Paisley singing in my head..."when I get where I'm goin',  there will be only happy tears...I will leave this world and the worries I have carried all these years..don't cry for me down here" There are days, that I still feel weepy, that I think of my Daddy, and I see his face. It hurts, and only time will heal that ache. I am thankful he knew Jesus, and he is in a better place now, and someday I will see him and my grandparents again. This brings me comfort. I thank you heavenly Father for giving me such a wonderful earthly Father! One day, my Daddy will be waiting at the gate for me, in fact, I believe with all my heart...that I will have my own welcoming committee. That's just how good God is. Start your day with being thankful, and expect something good to happen. Thank you God for this day, I will try my best to enjoy it fully..and not get mad on the interstate, help me give you all my worries, big and small. Thank you for our salvation.. I know there's a better life waiting across the river. Enjoy your day, and may each of us take nothing for granted! God bless!!!
