Thankful

Happy Thanksgiving and do we have alot to be thankful for. (Today, the part of Regan the super writer, will be played by Metisha. Sorry, she is the brains of our family and I am the brawn but I gave Regan the day off. I couldn't afford to pay her holiday pay. She should be featured on the credit card commercials because she is "Priceless." )

Psalm 116:1-8 says:
I love the Lord, because he listens to my (and all of your) prayers for help. He paid attention to me, so I will call to him for help as long as I live. The ropes of death bound me, and the fear of the grave took hold of me. I was troubled and sad and I called out the name of the Lord. I said "Please save me!"
The Lord is kind and does what is right; our God is merciful. The Lord watches over the foolish; when I was helpless, he saved me. I said to myself "Relax, because the Lord takes care of you." Lord, you saved me from death. You stopped my eyes from crying; you kept me from being defeated.

God did all of these things for me, but I wanted all of you to know that all of your prayers gave me courage, strength, and peace beyond all measure. I could not have traveled this road without each and every one of you. For every chemo, scan, and doctors appointment, I took you with me. I am so thankful and blessed to have the support of such wonderful family and friends. God has healed me and he heard your prayers. So, thank you and thank Him. Your prayers helped to save me.

I also wanted to loudly sing the praises of my beautiful sister, Regan. She is so talented and I have loved reading this sight as much as you. She is such a gifted writer and story teller (to which I have to give some credit to my wonderful mother-in-law and high school English teacher, Ann.) Her writings have been a blessing and witness to many.
Thank you Regan. I love you very much!

...and my final thoughts for the day...
I am so thankful to be alive today, even though I am beginning to look like a cocker spaniel with whoopie cushions on my chest.
I am so thankful for you.
I am so thankful for a God who hears us when we cry for help and blesses us beyond all measure.

Happy Thanksgiving to each of you and I am truly blessed to have you as loving friends.
