If my heart could only express one word, it would be GRATEFUL!
I
have been the lucky recipient of much needed service for so long now. I
am in awe at the friends, church members, family members and complete
strangers that have done so much and continue to do so much for me and
my family.
I don't know many people that have the incredible support system that I have and for that I am grateful.
I
have had a lot of time to reflect on what is going on in my life and
how blessed I am. I am really learning to find joy in the journey and
not just wait for the next destination, the next bright spot or even the
next stretch of feeling good.
My dear friends and
church members have set up a rotation for bringing in meals 3 times a
week while I am down. They always bring way more than we can eat or an
extra type of meal for my lunches or the next day. Family members are
constantly bringing by frozen dinners, homemade soups, delicious meals
and offering help.
I have had the sweet opportunity to
have some incredible women in my home. When each of these great and
noble women walk into my house to check on me, see how I am doing, or
just spend time talking, I am in awe of them and that they call me their
friend.
These aren't things that they are required to
do, they do it out of love, charity and Christlike service. My heart is
full for each dinner dropped off, note sent, flowers brought in,
homemade bread, yummy cookies, and all the magazines, books and movies
that have been brought over. Christlike love, expressed by incredible
women and some men, has touched my heart so deeply.
Thank you
to each of you for your gentle acts of service, for wrapping your arms
around me with a tender hug when I have needed support and to those of
you who have unexpectedly to just hug me and comfort a tired, worn out
soul. Your gentleness, long suffering and continued Christlike service
has brought so much comfort to my life. Thank you!
