So Thankful

What am I thankful for?
So much more than I could ever begin to tell you.
I have a loving husband, I have loving, respectful children, I have a Great Big God that heals our hearts when we feel the world is caving in.
Sometime I sit in wonder at all he has done for me. ME a simple country girl. (OK Old woman).
Me a child of depression era parents, World war 2 parents, Parents who share cropped to survive. Me a child who was taught at an early age to trust God. Me, Who always knew someone was watching over me.

So today I am again facing something I can't do alone. I know I don't have to do it alone. I have God at my side.
I am facing Thyroid surgery, with no guarantee of what they will find.
Two biopsies later and no definite diagnosis. The only option, apparently, is removal of the gland. I will know more on Monday.
I am not concerned as in worried, I have faced much bigger obstacles and overcome them,. I know I can do this too. I am a fighter. Just like my Mom who spent her 80 years fighting something. She always won and had the last illness not gone so far she would have won that battle too.

So this is just one more valley, one more hill,

one more trial, one more tear,

one more curve in life's road,

Maybe one more mile to go,

but we can lay down our heavy load when we get home.

So you say, you are thankful for that?

No, I am thankful I can face it with God holding me each step of the way.
