I often think of how as Jw's we missed life now! Not to say that I will ever suscribe to the 'live it up for tommorrow we might die' ideas - but I sense that I was so busy looking for the New World that I missed the one I was already in - so I am counting the blessings I see every day - and there is so much to be thankful for.
As I write this my grandson [whom we are raising due to unfortunate situation] is sitting and playing with his toys, smiling, giggling, and loving the sight and touch of new things. That is a huge blessing, and I thank God for that every day.
Outside I see the golden finches scuttling on and off our feeders. I hear the Red Wing Blackbirds and the Robins singing. I see the flowers in the neighborhood, and the placid view of the lake near our home.
Now, Wifey is sitting in the room and cooing with her grandson. My stomach is full from the lovely evening meal she prepared. The sun is shining, and the skys are a wonderful clear-blue.
There is so much more to thank God for than that - but these are some of my momentary blessings. Life is good - not always and at every moment - but life is good!
Have any to share?
