You know, the truth is I’ve still got more blessings than most people can shake a stick at.
Both parents alive. Six beautiful children (and beloved in-laws). Eight gorgeous grandchildren. Siblings and nieces and nephews aplenty. Dan and Joe living with me. Friends, both IRL and online. A house that isn’t a mansion but isn’t a hovel, either. And the heating works. And the internet connection is both fast and working. Food in the fridge. Living a few blocks from church. Nice cars.
Life is good.
Thank you, Abba! Forgive your weak, wayward daughter for behaving as if she’s been hideously mistreated when it’s no such thing.
Romans 8:28 is a bountiful promise, and is true even though it means I no longer have my Donald with me.
Looking forward to worshipping with the saints tomorrow morning….

Oh Anne…He is blessing you, indeed! how amazing to worship a God who gives us this joy and peace in the very middle of our most difficult trials. *sniff* *dab* He hears our prayers. (HUG)
Amen and amen, loved one.

When you feel low, you can re-read this. Well said (as always). And a good reminder for us all, thanks,
