| Remembering one year ago this time:
#1 - HOSPITAL ADMIT
Thank you, Lord, for no hospital THIS year! I am so grateful for YOUR getting me up and out and back to being well. Never been so sick as I was last year. Never hurt so bad as I did last year. 2009 rocks! Life is good: I love my job, my children are "walking with the Lord", my church family is caring + supportive, I'm blessed w 5 precious grandchildren, I enjoy a comfortable home ... is it Thanksgiving yet?
#2 - ROBBERY
Sweetest Day 2008 saw me in bed asleep for the night, only to be awakend @ midnight by an intruder breaking down the door to barge into my living room. Remembering the Soho police and their awesome response. Remembering God's protective watch-care. Remembering how cool it was that nothing was taken or damaged (except the door). Enjoying Sweetest Day 2009 so much MORE, as 2009 gives me an opportunity to host one of Soho's diversity dinners w 14 new friends @ the house for baked chicken + mushrooms! | | |
