Every day I Am Thankful For Lynda

For every day that God has allowed me to be Lynda's Nana here on earth...I am indeed thankful.  She has changed my life and taught me more about what really matters in life than anyone can imagine.  I am even more thankful that Jesus has sealed my name in the book of life along with Lynda's.  He has promised that we will see each other again.

We all have so much to be thankful for if we are children of God.  No matter what comes our way in this life we know that this is nothing more than a blink in eternity.  This Thanksgiving I'm especially thankful that my little girl is healthy, happy and perfect in every way.  No matter how much I miss her and love her I will forever be thankful that God loves her more.

I have so much to be thankful for this year as I did the year before and all of the years before that.  No, this has not been as easy year.  It has been some of the most difficult days I've ever walked on this earth.  God never promised us that life would be easy.  He never said it would be fair.  He never wants us to be so comfortable here that we lose sight of what is really important and that is life eternal.  Satan wants us to complain and continue to want more and more of what this world has to offer.  God says His grace is enough.

When I lay in the bed holding my child as she took her last breath all I could do was thank God for His mercy and His infinite wisdom.  As my heart was breaking it was also rejoicing that I had witnessed the miracle of life when Lynda's spirit left her broken little body and soared on angels wings with Jesus to Paradise.

I will forever be her mother.  She will always be my child.  She just lives at a different address now.  This Thanksgiving Lynda is in heaven where I know every single minute of every single day is devoted to giving thanks to Jesus for loving us enough to die for our sins.

We barely blink at Thanksgiving as far as taking time to really take an inventory of our blessings.  I love the old song "Count Your Blessings name them one by one.  Count your blessings see what God has done."  I am so thankful that God sends us special people to help open our eyes and redirect us in this crazy journey called life.
