Larry’s blessing is a remarkable reminder of how we might count our blessings.
Today I count the blessings of lives that have touched me.
As I walked through my gardens this morning, I was reminded of all
those folk who donated part of their gardens, part of their love for flowers
so that I might enjoy their beauty.
I remember Bobby Merchant, whom I have known since his childhood,
and whose life, and the life of his mother, Sally, both of whom died too young, have touched my life. Being part of the living process and even the dying process
is a blessing. Insights into my own life have been gained by both.
I am thankful for the life of my sister-in-law, Alice, whose days here are short.
I am grateful for the time we have had to share with one another.
I am also grateful for the opportunity to share and stretch
and grow that this blog has allowed.
Thank God for all these blessings.
