I AM THANKFUL:

FOR THE WIFE who says it's hot dogs tonight, because she is home with me, and not out with someone else.imagesCA585T5C.jpg

FOR THE HUSBAND who is on the sofa being a couch potato, because he is home with me and not out at the bars.

FOR THE TEENAGER who is complaining about doing dishes because it means she is at home, not on the streets.

FOR THE MESS TO CLEAN AFTER A PARTY because it means I have been surrounded by friends.

FOR THE CLOTHES THAT FIT A LITTLE TOO SNUG because it means I have enough to eat.

FOR MY SHADOW THAT WATCHES ME WORK because it means I am out in the sunshine.

FOR THE PARKING SPOT I FIND AT THE FAR END OF THE PARKING LOT because it means I am capable of walking and I have been blessed with transportation.

FOR THE LADY IN THE PEW BEHIND ME WHO SINGS OFF KEY because it means I can hear and her praises are before the throne of God.

FOR THE PILE OF LAUNDRY AND IRONING because it means I have clothes to wear.imagesCA0FVVRG.jpg

FOR WEARINESS AND ACHING MUSCLES AT THE END OF THE DAY because it means I have been capable of working hard.

FOR THE ALARM THAT GOES OFF IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS because it means I am alive.

This website is one way you can help bear other's burdens. Write encouraging words to those who are burdened by various trials or send in writings that will lift a spirit. There are sisters out there who need advice, comfort, and the realization that there is someone who understands.

 





 
Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, “I will try again tomorrow.”
