Share some Tea Time with me please!
Hello Friends,
This has been a very hard day at the bank today. It is the 3rd. of the month and we have our sweet little old people coming in to get their money to live off of for the month of Oct.
There is so much we take for granted.
God blesses our lives every day with the abundance of his blessings and we sometimes forget to just say, Thank you Lord for all you have done for me today.
Letting me get up out of bed, I thank you Lord.
For being able to see the sun shine, I thank you Lord.
For breathing clean fresh air, I thank you Lord.
For having a washing machine to wash my clothes so that I don't have to go to the creek and pound them on a rock, I thank you Lord.
For my kitchen floor that I have and to be able to mop that floor and it not be a dirt floor. I thank you Lord.
For windows that get dirty and I have to clean just to be able to see the beautiful sun that you provided for me this special morning. I thank you Lord.
For the stove you have given to me to be able to cook a good meal for my family and those who are still with us to share the meal with. I thank you Lord.
For the dish washer you have provided to clean those dirty dishes so that I can have some extra time to do whatever I think is needed. I thank you Lord.
For the wonderful bed that you have provided for me and that I don't have to sleep on the hard floor. I thank you Lord.
For the nice indoor bath that we have so we don't have to go to an outside john like I use to do when I was little. I thank you Lord.
Yes there is so much to be thankful for.
My wonderful Church, our choir, our special music, our Associate Pastor and Youth director. For all of our Sunday School teachers and all those who help with all the different ministries in our chruch, I thank you Lord.
I could go on and on and on but I will stop. I just have so much in my heart to be thankful for. I guess this is my way of just saying , Thank you Lord for all that you have done for me.
I love all of my little old clients who come into the bank. Some are so poor but rich in God's love and that friend makes all the difference in the world.
I DO get the opportunity all the time to be able to mention God and all his goodness to so many of my dear friends. I keep waiting for someone to say something but until they do I will just keep giving God the glory for all He has done.
Love to all and please be thankful that you can sleep tonight knowing that if God shall choose this night to take you home you will open your eyes to sights that only one who is in heaven could ever believe.
Love In Christ,
Maw Maw
