Knicking Myself In The Butt

 

Not long ago I posted a verse

about the Lord not promising us

an easy life . . . but that He does

promise to always be there

for us whenever we call

(Shout out His name or pray).

~~~***~~~

But please know that . . .

He will never forsake us.

I have to admit that my life has 

been very hard lately.

So many anniversaries, birthdays

and special memories that have brought

deep emotional feelings to the surface.

 

 

Life can be hard and there are days

when if I did not pray before allowing my feet

to touch the floor in the morning,

 I would never make it through the day. 

 

 

I have to remind myself of how incredibly

blessed my life has been.

That is not hard to do . . . I have food 

in my cupboard, I have hot and cold 

running water in our home,

and a toilet inside the house.

 

 

Our home is warm and protected from

the elements . . . no rain, snow or wind 

coming through the walls.

 

 

For my age I am incredibly healthy,

able to walk without a cane, 

able to breath without a device,

hands that can sew, 

eyes that can see and read,

and a brain that sill remembers 

my family and friends.

 

We all know person that can not

say that  . . .

and there are times that we just

don't stop to think about it.

 

 

(after chemo and facial hair growing back)
 

When we do; we can shout out

praise to the One for

whom our blessing fall. 

 Thank you Jesus!

 

 

 Well, that's my post for today,

I hope that it was an encouragement

to you . . .

it was to me, I needed to be reminded

and to wake up and be grateful

for what I have and

not crying over my loneliness.

 

 

I am the last person on this earth

to minimize the process of Grief,

but I've also learned in the last 

two years that it is easy to let it start 

controls our lives.

That is not good and our loved ones

would absolutely hate seeing

us allowing that to happen. 

 

This was a self inflicted kick in the butt.

I needed it!  

 

God bless you all.

If I offended anyone . . .

I apologize.

I could have started this post

with: Dear Connie,

It was more for me than you.

 

We all have so many blessings

to be grateful for :)

 

 

On my anniversary this week

I am going to celebrate the 44 years

that I was privileged to be 

this sweet man's wife. 

 

Thank you for visiting.

Your blogging sister,

Connie :)
