It’s a shame that it has taken me so much of my life to realize what I am finally starting to sort out now. But this year, and in future years, I am thankful for all those “things” that God has shown me that I can easily live without; I am thankful that He is showing me that I can actually be happier without a lot of the stuff that I once thought were needs in my life. I am thankful that He is replacing those things with Himself, and that at least sometimes I am able to see that.
(“But I have stilled and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child is my soul within me.” (Psalm 131:2).
Opportunity.
Opportunity to do more, love more, feel more and serve more. All is God-given opportunity. I pray that I am wise enough to use it.
Happy Thanksgiving.
I am so thankful for my family and for my dear husband, who has Alzheimer’s. He can still remember who I am at this point, and this is such a blessing to me. I cannot look into the future, but I know enough about the disease to know what the future brings. His illness has brought me to a new ministry, to help and give succor to those affected by this insidious disease. To God be the glory. Thank you Lord.
Elizabeth, my wife, and her recovering health.

#2 you have blessed me, that is my favorite Psalm you are quoting at the end.
