Grateful
I started working on this piece a few days ago but wasn’t quite in the right frame of mind to do so. I am now.
My 44th birthday was on October 2. Lord knows that there have been many times that I didn’t think I would see it, there were times that I didn’t think I deserved to see it and still others where frankly I didn’t want to see it. At the end of the day, what I wanted really didn’t matter, what I got for 44 and the week leading up to it was more than I could ask for.
With trauma, there came rescue.
With tears, there came comfort.
With rants, there came listening ears.
With needs, there came fulfillment.
I don’t think that I deserve anything. I’m not special, just another one of God’s children. This week, he showed me that his hand is on me and what was meant for bad, much good can come forth.
This week, each and every one of you who: watched me go into ORBIT over this drama and let me get it off my chest, who sent me a kind word to stop the bleeding, rescued me in a time of trouble, wished me a Happy Birthday, and showed me love in your own special way please know this:
If this were the last line that I ever write, I just want all of you to know that, I thank you, I appreciate and love you. I am grateful.
