Well... they say, "Time Changes Everything" and certaintly, alot of time has passed since my last post but who's counting anyway?
"Where do I begin?" is an understatment, so I will begin with another thing that they always say...
"Time Heals all Wounds".
And so it does.
Time and Healing always go Hand and Hand.
And as time passes, the Healing takes place, the Joy of the Journey returns, Peace is Present and Faith once again resumes it's rightful place as the Foundation to build my life upon.
God placed on my Heart a deep issue of "Thank less ness"... why in the midst of all the Miracles, was I continuing to ignore the Grace? Why did I choose to ignore the Blessings and embrace the Bothersome? Where was the "Thanksgiving" in all of this?
My Mom... taking a horrific fall and left for dead
My Dad... diagnosed with incurable cancer
My Husband... nearly killed in a freakish accident
My Dog... bit by a rattlesnake
My Sister-in-law... suffering a stroke at 55
Myself... my Summer of Sickness, my selfishness....
And so the Grace begins. The Thanksgiving that nourishes my Soul. The Thanksgiving that fuels my Trust. The Thanksgiving that allows Joy. The Miracles of Thanksgiving.
Praise you God for sparing my mother's life.
Praise you God for placing my dad's cancer in remission.
Praise you God for the loving arms of my husband.
Praise you God for the complete recovery of my dog.
Praise you God for my sister-in-law's sweet new personality.
And Me?
Praise you God for opening my eyes, for clarity of Truth and Purpose, for renewing my Faith from the inside out, for changing my Heart, for the teaching of Gratitude, for embracing life in all circumstances and planting in my soul the Gift of Praise, the Thanksgiving, the Miracle.
