count your blessings.

count your blessings.
We found out that my grandfather has cancer last week.
count your blessings.
We had to move him and my grandmother into an assisted living facility -
worst.feeling.ever.
count your blessings.
My young, vibrant, mom-of-the-year cousin had a stroke on Friday.
She may be going home soon, but we still don't know enough.
count your blessings.
This is the phrase I keep repeating in my head.
Things change quickly - a seemingly normal week can change in an instant.
So, I keep repeating it.
Hoping that if I send up enough thanks, I will receive more.

  2. Sorry it's been such a crappy week. You and your family will be in my prayers. Thanks for the reminder to count my blessings--I don't seem to do that enough.
