There is always something that hits you square in the face that gives you a reminder of indeed how much there is to be thankful for, and how precious life really is.
Several days ago, one of my husband's grandmothers (yes, he is blessed to still have both of his grandmothers living), on her 96th birthday, got devastating and surprising news-- that she has advanced lung cancer and that she should make her arrangements. She didn't even have that amount of time. She is in the hospital and only has a day or two at best. Yes, she has lived a long life and has been blessed with grandchildren and great-grandchildren, but it doesn't make the realization that life is fragile and precious any less startling. We truly do not know the "day or the time." I am sorry that we didn't see her more over the years, but am so glad that I sent her Valentine's Day candy and a card from the kids a couple of weeks ago. I hope she liked it. I would appreciate your prayers for her family during this difficult time.
I am especially grateful for many things this week including:
A little girl with a big imagination
and a boy with one, too.
Fun projects
and delicious treats to eat
Beautiful books
and a creative young man (Kiddo #1 who is building another airplane, this time from ordinary household materials! These are the torpedoes)
and one who does his work with a smile
I hope you can find much to be thankful for, as well.
