Sometimes life throws curveballs. In the wake of those curveballs I sometimes find it easy to feel sorry for myself. And I have found myself saying maybe God has forgotten all the other things I have had to endure and surely He didn’t mean to give me this too.
Then I slap myself….And I remember all the AWESOME things He has given me.
Like….Eternal life with Him
Like….A mom I could not have special ordered any better.
Like….A sister who is my best friend.
Like….A family who I love very much and who loves me back
Like….My Christyann (my cat a/k/a love of my life) who I got to love for 18 years
Like….When I had cancer, He healed me through surgery and delivered me from having to have chemo or radiation.
Like…..Amazing friends that I get to do life with.
Like…..a burning desire to introduce Jesus to all who do not know Him!!
Whenever I feel sorry for myself, I will remind myself of the ways my God loves me.

What I'm I gr8ful for ?
-My mom for bringing me into this world probably kicking and screaming. Can you imagine what our moms had to put up with. Whew !
-My dad for teaching me to do the right thing and those whippings reminded me when I was being abnocious as a kid.
-My church for teaching me to give, not just financially, but of myself, love happiness and not expect anything in return. :-)
-My friends that love me unconditionally and ones that I may of only met once, but made a huge difference in my life and how I see others. '-)
-For my holidays out west to ski country, England, Czech Republic, Spain and other far away places.
-My job during this economic hard times. I'm truly blessed to have a job that I would do without pay.
-The area in which I live called western North Carolina. The skies are so blue, mountains so green and the streams and rivers sound like laughter. The lake sounds early in the morning with a fish jumping and fog hovering just above the water. Wow !
-For my sight and hearing. God gave me two ears and one mouth. I decided He was trying to say listen more than you speak dummy. lol Okay okay okay. I get it Lord.
Miss J, my list could go on and on. Do you have a couple of more hours to read? :-)
