Thursday Thoughts: Thanks for Life

Most of the time, I don't give much thought to the gift of life.  This past week, however, I have been reminded time and time again just how fortunate we are to be allowed to be here on earth. 

Three events have brought this realization home:

First, last week I requested prayers for a family I know.  Today, the father/husband was discharged from the hospital.  I am so happy for him and his family.

Second,  I learned today that one of my extended family members who was battling cancer has been declared tumor-free.  Again, I find myself very happy.

Third, just two days after I watched nurses perform CPR on her tiny body, I held my granddaughter for the first time.  I am happy.



Thanks for life.

    Nothing like the power of prayer! Praises to the Lord for these and other answered prayers.

Six Sentence Story: Twist

  An antique typewriter Each week, Denise at Girlie on the Edge blog posts a prompt word and invites bloggers to come up with a Six Sentence Story. It's a fun challenge for writers, and a delight for readers. Go over to her blog to read what others have written, and feel free to post your own story, too! This week's prompt: twist. ********************************* The kids who moved in next door were big kids--much older than her 3-year-old self--but they might be fun to play with, and as they were coming towards her, the idea of them being new friends seemed at least possible. She was rather shy, but she understood the basics of making friends, so when those neighbors crowded all around her and asked her what her name was, she didn't hesitate to answer.  She thought she had spoken loudly enough, but apparently her shyness got the best of her, because they didn't seem to have heard her.  "Twisty?" they asked, and recognizing she needed to be even louder, she ...
