Being thankful, even with Rheumatoid Arthritis

God is good even when we cannot see why things happen. He will bring us through the trial, more refined and more reliant upon Him. Knowing that helps me to hold on through the rough spots.

I thank Him that I am not alone in this journey. I give thanks for each of the wonderful readers of this blog.  You touch my life by reading, commenting, blogging, tweeting … it is a great harmony. I wish I could meet every one of you in person some day!

I give thanks for my daughters who do all they can to make my life better. And sons: what mother doesn’t give special thanks for sons? I am so blessed to have three of them. I am so thankful that I am here to watch them do every crazy that thing boys do.

Here are a few more things for which I am thankful every day:

For living in this generous and decent country.             

For the noble men and women of our military.

For the internet!

For my feather bed!

For pumpkin pie, pumpkin milkshakes, pumpkin coffee cake, and pumpkin coffee…

For heaven paid in full, with this life thrown in.

What about you?
