Things I'M Grateful About

Things I'm grateful about
I've had a lot of mountains to climb
and valleys to travel through in my life.
I've had to live with health issues.
and struggle along no matter the trouble.
Some days are harder and takes more time.
to do simple things as a mother and wife.

But...
I'm  grateful to still be here today.
I'm thankful for WHO I am now,
Because of WHAT I've gone through.
I grew stronger as I got past the hurdles 
It  all taught me lessons along the way
as my time and victories would allow.

I'm grateful Because it is God's hand
that sheltered me from the worst.
After each difficulty there were miracles
Some  things I was so surprised to find.
Sometimes it is small, others maybe grand.
but I  have to go through the fires first.
