So, it's a Sunday morning and I am experiencing something very rare...I'M THE ONLY ONE AWAKE!! I am lounging on my couch, coffee in hand, looking out the window and the only noise I hear are the freshly washed clothes in the dryer...now this I could get used to =)
My sis-in-law, Gini, also blogs. Hers is far more advanced and she's been doing it alot longer but one thing in particular about hers that I like is her "Thankful on a Thursday" blog where she posts what she's thankful for every Thursday. I woke up this morning feeling so thankful and I realized I usually do on Sunday mornings. Maybe it's because I know I get to go to church and worship an amazing God with an amazing church family or it could just be because it's a day of rest and my head is more clear. Whatever the reason, I am going to start my own "weekly blog thanksgiving" and mine is going to be on Sundays.
Let me begin with my family. I have such a godly mother and father. And the reason they're so godly is largely in part because of two women: my father's mother, Sylvia Bobo and my mother's mother, Elwyn King. These two women are truly a magnificent example of God's handiwork. I am so thankful that these were the women that raised my parents. Because of them, I have two parents that want nothing more than for their children to have fulfilling and meaningful relationships with Christ.
Both of my grandmothers are now very close to meeting their heavenly Father that they have so obediently served all these years. And although I am crying as I write this because I will be sad that their physical bodies will not be here with us, I KNOW that our Lord can't wait to have these amazing women join Him in His kingdom. My daily personal prayer is that God will use me in the lives of my children and grandchildren, just like He has used my Mama-E and Grandmother in the lives of their off spring. Thank you Lord for blessing me with the amazing family I have.
