Thanksgiving on Thursday...

Many times I have been lonely in life.

But  God makes sure that I know

that I am never alone...

From my wonderful family

and friends comes many

reminders of God's love to me.

A lovely surprise in the mail one day from my first mentor...

Homemade lip balm complete with a cute label and all.

How sweet!

A weekend meet up with my big sis to celebrate our birthdays.

Thanks to my lovely little sister,
Kristina, my house has been getting a major overhaul in the organized/ cleaned department. It was very needed! And after a summer of many 'out of control' moments, where an extra hand was needed to fill in for my oldest daughter who is still recovering from Lyme, and to help me, after a bout of sickness had me unable to do all my duties well for a time, and to help my youngest daughter who has borne up like a trooper and pitched in for her sister, too when necessary, I am so very blessed and grateful to have this wonderful gift.

I have known what it is to have to live with sorrows from broken relationships,

and I am so very thankful that there is the family of God

to fill some needs that only they can fill.

One evening recently

my little sister

Marie,

brought me these lovely

flowers.

They came at 

'just the right time',

after a hard day

and during

a hard

time.

I am so thankful.

I am so blessed.

I am grateful.

I am loved

and cared for

and cannot

imagine a life

where I 

did not 

trust the God

who cares for

everything

in my life.

So today

I post this praise 

here in honor

of Him.

He knows every need.

He sees every falling tear.

He knows the questions.

The unknown is 

known to Him.

I will sing of His mercies forever.

With my mouth (pen, computer)

will I make known 

His faithfulness.
