I am so thankful for each of our nine grandchildren! I am especially thankful that the Lord has allowed me to live long enough to get to know each of them. Just before little Penny was due to be born, I had a stroke, so the three youngest grandchildren are extra blessings for me!

Please join me in 30 days of thankfulness. What are you thankful for today?

I’m thankful for my children. Hope, Scott and Steven give inspiration to continue to learn, do and be.

Knowing that God is always present gives me a lot of hope and comfort. He is invisible, but He is always there. He is my place of refuge. He is the One who is my greatest comforter. How do I know that He is here with me? I read His Word and hide it in my heart so that when I am feeling lonely or depressed about something, I can call on the Words that I have stored in my heart and feel His loving arms around me. I covet prayers these days, my friends, because I can sense that change is coming, and I am not sure that I am ready for it. Nevertheless, I know that the same God who raised Jesus from the dead and who sent His Holy Spirit to live within us is alive and well and waiting to keep me steadfast through whatever happens. His is the glory and honor now and forevermore! Blessed be the Name of the Lord and may many blessings fall on those who call upon His Name!
