Thankful for Precious Moments!

One of my most traumatizing event of this year has been the death of a neighbor.

I did not know her,all that I knew was, she had a daughter who was close to my little boys age.Everyday during the summer,my son and I hung out on the porch .My neighbor lives right across our porch.And we used to see our neighbors child playing with her elderly grandparents.This mom was so sick,that I ve never seen her.This little child always played with her grand parents,was fed by them,probably slept with them .This went for at least 3 months until my neighbor the mother of the little child passed away.

This incident truly shook me,my heart was very heavy for the little girl who would never know her mothers love,never feel the mothers touch,would never know the depths of a mother’s care.

I realised how short our time here on earth could be.
In a moment we could be snatched away from our helpless children.
Every time I look out my window to see my neighbors porch,my prayers go out for that precious little child.

1 Thessalonians 5:18 (KJV)
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Oh Precious lord,thank you for my life however it is.
I’m thankful for being able to do all the things I do, mundane or not.
I’m thankful,I have health and strength to take care of me and my loved ones.
I’m thankful for the time that I have with my loved ones.
I’m thankful I’m here!

Amen!
Oh Precious lord,thank you for my life
