I am so thankful for so much. I am thankful for my wonderful daughter and her little girl, and our two amazing sons and their little girls, too. My grandchildren are the highlights of my life, for sure. They are definitely the best there could ever be! God sure knew what He was doing when He spared my life in l999 and brought these little girls for me to love and enjoy. We love grandparenting soooo much. If it weren't for God and His orchestration on that day in July, 1999, I wouldn't be here today. Each day is amazing, never doubt it. Once you have a near-death experience, you see things a whole lot differently. I look forward to the day when I get to go to Heaven and be with Jesus and all His. But, while I'm here on my journey through life, I love being with my family, friends, and all those whom I come in contact with daily. Life is fragile. It can disappear in a moment. And, each of us has an appointed moment, don't doubt it one bit! Only God knows the big picture of our lives. My dad has already had his "Big Exit Moment" and I know that Jesus was right there before, during, and after it and for all eternity. I am so thankful that my Dad was one of the finest Christians that I've ever known. He put his entire being in God's hands and looked to Him for healing, love, comfort, and guidance every moment. My dad touched so many lives, in addition to those of my family, children, and friends; he served his life for God on earth and I know that he is doing the same in eternity. And he is ever present in my memory on a daily basis, reminding me that putting God and Jesus FIRST is how we should spend our brief time on earth. (It seems more brief all the time.) These are my thoughts for today.
