Remembering...

Sweet Lord,
The Bible is replete with times that Israel was told to remember Your goodness throughout their history: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Esther, Ruth, Moses, Joshua and Caleb, David, and Solomon, many many miracles, battles won, and lost because of disobedience.

Last December a sweet sister gave me some strips of scapbook paper and the first one had a verse on it.  the instruction were to write down things to be thankful for all through the year and then put them into a "Thankfulness Chain" to decorate the home for Christmas. 

Today, all the pieces have been filled, the chain completed, and it hangs over the "Solid Rock" Thomas Kincade print Dick gave me for our anniversary.  I could have used many many more pieces.  The milestones with Lance through this last year are amazing, Dick's two successful surgeries, Melody's visit, seeing the out of state sons and families 3x this year and having all of the Plyter cousins met each other some for the first time was such a blessing too, Lord.  We had lots of LU students become part of our adopted family and they provided us with the lawn work we could not do on our own, and You provided a riding lawn mower that works and made my life so much easier this summer and lawn raking much easier this fall.  I was given a better position in the SAO Office to use my gifts to the max, and I successfully "retired" as far as the US government is concerned.  You have provided through Quibids for all of our needs, some wants, and also the ability to help others with gift cards and gifts.

Lord, You are a great and gracious God an I love You.
