Mom’s are the best. My mom is my best friend. I have a great attitude in life because she has a great attitude about life. Not because she has had an easy life but because she looks for the good in every day and in everyone. She is in her 80s now and so full of thankfulness for all she has in life. She grew up in an orphanage, has lived a simple but full life. She met my dad in that orphanage. They were “throw away” children yet grew into incredibly valuable people. I owe my life to them, in more ways than one. I asked my mom to make a list of her thankfulness. This is what she typed up on her laptop (she is a high tech great granny):
Things I am thankful for:
Thankful for God allowing me another day
Thankful for God’s love
Thankful for Christ Jesus who died for me
Thankful for being able to pray
Thankful for God’s beautiful earth for the birds that sing, trees, flowers, rain and for the sunshine
Thankful for my beloved husband
Thankful for a cool house in the summer and warm in the winter
Thankful for my wonderful children, all my grandchildren, and great grandchildren
Thankful for my church family
Thankful for the food we have
Thankful for my friends
Thankful for my neighbor Joe and his family
Thankful for my eyes able to read and study God’s word and see God’s beautiful world
Thankful for my ears so I can hear the bird’s singing
Thankful for our car (which our son gave us)
Thankful for my bed to sleep in
Thankful for all my aches and pains (I know others are a lot worse off)
Thankful for the night’s rest
Thankful for our country, may we always live in freedom
(I have posted this list before but I think it is worth repeating.)
Happy Mother’s Day to my mom and to mom’s everywhere. They are the heart of our nation.
Moving forward,
