Some more things for which I'm thankful and notes

In case my dear readers don't happen to look at my comments, I thought I'd just copy a friend's comment (on my last post) and share it:

"A = Answers to Prayer
R = Relatives
T = Training in godliness
U = Understanding parents
V = Victory over sin
W = Wisdom promised by God for the asking
X = hmm... Xylophone music?
Y = Yielded will to do God's will
Z = Zeal given from God for His service"

The only thing I'm not especially (maybe just a little instead) thankful for is the xylophone music... sure I like it, but it just doesn't affect my life on a daily basis as does our piano!

One thing I've been very thankful for this week (I thought of it a week or more ago, just haven't blogged since then) is my glasses. I'm thankful to God and to my parents for my glasses, because I can see what I didn't even know I was missing out on seeing before I had them! I got my first lenses in May 2006 and this year I got bifocols. (I am nearsighted.) Now if you've never been "blind" (to this degree) and now have 'specticles' you may understand why I am so thankful for GLASSES!

This past weekend Mother and I both got a stomach bug, which has clung pretty tightly with aches and such. Funny thing is Mother and I took turns (alternating days and hours) feeling terrible and feeling like we were recovering. Yesterday seemed to be the turning point for me and I've had a wonderful [feeling] day, while Mother has been feeling awful. I got it first, with Mother following by a day, so we're hoping and praying she'll be well tomorrow! The point of this paragraph is not to whine about the sickness, but to say that when you are sick you a far more thankful for usually being healthy! So I am thankful for the Lord's help to my recently ill body!

In my former thankfulness list I put on there "electricity". In many countries of course people have none, but it's enough to make me thankful for it when we have our electricity out for just a few hours. (This has happened repeatedly in the last year.)

Well, I better go night-night!
