Just for today


I am grateful. 

For both of my sons.  One nearing his 1st anniversary of clean and sober.  One in meetings.  

I'm thankful for my husband.

Our little dog.

A home I have the honor of cleaning each day, reminds me how grateful I am.

The dinner we through last night with both sons, dauther in law, grandchildren and a fine meal it was.

I'm grateful for our health.

For the beautiful fall weather.

I'm grateful for a table large enough to hold us all.

I'm grateful we have a lovely granddaughter now in high school enjoying her sport of volleyball.  The invitation she gave me to watch and be proud of her while she plays and how well she did.

I'm thankful for our delightful grandson who played soft ball this summer and looked cute as a bugs ear out there in those tiny little uniforms.

I'm glad and thankful for our oldest son taking a prideful interest in caring for his neice and nephew as if they were his own kids. I appreciate that he does this to help out our other son and daughter in law.

I'm appreicative that my husband after all these years of working so hard has finally gotten the chance to retire and enjoy his health and life.

I'm grateful for all of you who come into my life although it is through such a program that found some of us at our worse moments.

I'm thankful we can listen and share and earnestly care.

And most of all I guess I came here tonight to share how very thankful I am that our youngest son was saved in a terrible car accident to be able to go home at night and kiss his kids good night while being clean and sober.

I am so grateful for the gratitude list tool.  When I write it daily, I can see how much abundance I have in my life rather than focus on what I am lacking.  When I can see it on paper, I can clearly see how God is showing up in my life one day at a time.

In gratitude,

Tommye

A few big things on my G- list is:

  • Living in a safe country
  • Indoor Plumbing
  • Electricity
  • A/C and Heat
  • Hot Showers
  • Cozy bed to sleep in
  • A car that starts on the first turn

 

So much of the world doesnt have the above privileges.  What a miracle and a blessing that I have these things on a daily basis.  Thank You God!
