I Give Thanks

I give thanks for a Dementia patient growing more loving in latter years, my mother for a Dad who has diabetes, high-blood pressure, overweight, and should have been in the grave 20 years earlier like father and brother I give thanks for a wife with lymphoma who has shown her faith and love of God for a son who traveled the world and used nursing skills for others for a daughter with challenges growing up, after college had four job offers I give thanks For churches that I have attended that have helped mature me For good jobs to help take care of my family and those in need For a great education from a Community College and University For iron sharpening friends and mentors in to my life they gave For my Lord Jesus Christ who first loved and got me saved I give thanks
