I’m not crazy, just early. It’s Tuesday, I know, but I’m posting this week’s Thankful Thursday this morning because today I turn 60 and I have so much to be thankful for that I just can’t wait until Thursday. So much that if I start to enumerate my life’s blessings, I may be able to reach the stars.
Sure, there has been plenty of hardship and heartache included in the six-decade time span; enough to write a sad scary novel, trust me. But, as Edgar Allan Poe wrote, “Never to suffer would never to have been blessed.” And as I replay my movie (so far), I see that in the midst of my struggles, blessings are found.
Needless to say, but I will, my most cherished blessing includes family and friends. The loved ones God has seen fit to place in my life. For them, and for sixty years of blessings, I am so thankful.
What are you thankful for today?
Until next [actual] Thursday’s post…si Dios quiere.
”Your love, Jesus, is an ocean
with no shore to bound it.
And if I plunge into it, I carry
with me all the possessions
I have. You know, Lord,
what these possessions are —
the souls you have seen
fit to link with mine.”
-St. Therese of Lisieux
“I don’t mind getting older; it’s a privilege denied to so many!”
