During the month of November, I will be counting down the days to the Thanksgiving holiday by giving thanks for things in my life. Yes, I am thankful each and every day, but I think it's important to write them out and acknowledge all things. Some big and some more subtle and personal. So, without further a do....
Today I am thankful for my mom. Today would have been her 59th birthday. I can't believe how the time has flown by. I miss you each day, but I am eternally blessed knowing that I will see you again in Heaven. Oh, how my heart aches for you some days. I close my eyes and can still see your smile, feel your hands hugging me and smell your unique smell. It makes me feel such peace knowing that you have left the troubles of our Earth behind to live in peace in Heaven.
I am thankful for Jason and my dad who remembered this day, as well. Jason was so sweet to get me a card and small gift as a remembrance of you. Dad came to spend time with me and treated us to dinner. These men have supported me and loved me through the good times and the bad, the happy and the sad.
Thank you, Father, for the gift of my mom. You gave her purpose here on Earth and then brought her home to You when her job was done. You have equipped those in my life with the right words, the calming hug and comforting smile to help ease the pain. I pray that I can shine the light that is Your love to those around me. I love you, AMEN!
