Grateful

As November rolls in, the spirit of Thanksgiving comes with it. Truth be told, I'm normally itching for Christmas by now and Thanksgiving comes and goes without much fanfare. We eat a lot of turkey and think on our many blessings, but I'm really pushing for Christmas to arrive. I love Christmas. Everything about the season makes my spirit sing. This evening though I am finding myself grateful for the many blessings in my life.

My 2 year cancer anniversary was on Friday. It came and went like any other day, but today I am feeling thankful. Many women don't get to celebrate a 2 year anniversary. Many women lose their battle to soon. I don't know the plans the Lord has in store for me, but I hope that I never take for granted the time that He has graciously allowed me. One day He will call me home and cancer may be my ticket, but for now I am living without cancer and grateful for every day.
