Today is Day 2: I would like to look “through grateful eyes and express my gratitude to God” for today God has given me another day.
My favorite saying is, “if I am not listed in the newspaper in the Obituaries,” it’s a great day.
The other one is, “If I am not six feet under the ground I am a happy camper.” I use to be a barber so these are two common things talked about when my clients are 80 years old and up. To get them to laugh, it worked.
When they leave I always say, Keep Looking Up. They knew that it meant from the Blessings of God above.
I am grateful for my sister, JoAnn who came by with my requested Coke a Cola and what I wanted. I get paid on Friday but couldn’t wait. I love to stay up at night and write, so I needed Coke to keep my mind stimulated. I thank God for her and help. I don’t like to ask for help. Yes, I could have waited until 9:00am but it’s more fun this way. My sister understands this and that makes me happy. We also got to visit and talk about our lives.
If you do read this then pray for our Dad Roy, as he is ill and doesn’t want to go to the doctor. He is 74 years young and wants to give up on life. I pray this is a passing phase. Amen.
What are you grateful for today?
To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did. When God takes something from you, He is not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better.
