Through the years my faith in God has been tested, as I am sure it has for all of us.
As we come upon the Thanksgiving holiday, I am thankful for the maternal grandmother I had who took me to church every Sunday when I was younger. She taught me how to plant flowers. She died when I was 7 years of age but her memory and the early values she instilled in me have always been in my heart. For the gift she gave, I am eternally grateful.
That gift carried me through some of the most trying times of my life, in knowing there was more to life than what I was seeing, even today. I haven’t been a faithful visitor to any church since her death but my connection to a spiritual power of some sort has existed all along.
What are you most thankful for this year?
Thank you.
Thank you for your post, Beth. We’ve featured it on the home page of http://www.HereWomenTalk.com
It’s hard for me to find just one thing that I’m “most” thankful for this year. I have bountiful blessings. So I guess that would be what I am “most” thankful for; i.e., my ability to see and know my blessings.
