REMEMBERING

Right now

I am

THANKFUL!

~~~~~
My family has enjoyed 3 meals today.

I am not hungry.

I am warm.

My family is snug in their beds.

I have a place to sleep tonight.

I am SAFE

I do not live in fear.

I am blessed with the gift of family and friends.

I have had more hugs today than I can count.

I am not lonely.

If I never received another gift as long as I live,

this very moment...

I have everything I need.

I have the gift of eternal life.

I have hope.

All because of a baby

God's own son

who came to earth

in the most humble of circumstances

to save the world.

To save me

my family

my friends

and

YOU!

What more do we need?

Remembering God's children who

have had no food today

are starving

are dying

are cold

have no place to lay their head

have not been touched or hugged today...or ever

have not heard kind words

are lonely

are hurting

are hopeless

Praying

that I will move beyond the thought

and

live out my faith.

Thank you Oh God for the gift of your Son

The sacrifice

For demonstrating what love really is and is not!

MERRY CHRISTMAS

  3. Merry late Christmas Kelli! I too am very thankful and I don't think any of us understand just how much we have. But Jesus dying on the cross for us is the greatest blessing of ALL!
    P.S. Are you enjoying the SNOW???!!!
