THinking, THinking, THinking...
THinking THoughts, and being THankful on THursdays.
Today I asked Nathan the question -
What are you thankful for today and/or every day?
"God, my family, my friends, my cats, my home, clean water, and food."
And then I got a hug and a kiss!
Today, I was sad and thankful.
I went by the cemetery just down the road from us to visit my father-in-law's grave. Unfortunately, I never met him, but his son is pretty fantastic.
I also saw some friends graves - a Mom from school, a "boy" I used to babysit for when I was a teenager, a teacher's daughter, and a friend's baby but really thinking of the Mom since she died last year.
But I'm thankful because I have memories that I can look back on and smile. So remember that tomorrow is never promised, make memories today!
Your post could not be more correct. Each "normal" day is truly a blessing.
ReplyDeleteYour son is wonderful, isn't he?
ReplyDeleteIt is important to treasure the good times we have with people while they are here with us.
What a great thing to remember: "tomorrow is never promised, make memories today". I love that! :)
ReplyDeleteOver the weekend my mother's cousins had an anniversary party. I only get to see these people it seems at funerals unfortunately so I was so thankful to get to go along and enjoyed catching up with my distant relatives. Your son is right on. Glad he knows to appreciate what he has.
