Another day

Wow it has been a real rough ride the last few days. My husband has a heart attack and my daughter has been diagnosed with cancer. I know things will get better. My husband is on the mend. The drs. have given him a clean bill of health as far as his arteries go. Now we are trying to figure out what caused this in the first place. I will feel much better when they let him come home.
My daughter has been having girlie trouble for quite some time now. She finally got the courage to go to the dr. and get the testing done. Then she finds out she has cancer. This unfortunately was not a surprise. Now she just needs to take the appropriate measures to get rid of the nasty stuff.
I hope and pray that she follows through with this.
Right now I keep thinking that this is all Father filtered. God will not leave me standing alone through all of this. He is here and I am so glad.
My daughter's first memory verse: I can do all things through Christ, which strengthens me. Philippians 4:13 Isn't God good?

I am thankful for....

I am thankful for.... my freedom. I can go to any church of my choice and worship my God . I am so thankful for that. I have the freedom to walk and move about this country without ever having to ask someone in authority for permission. I have the freedom to voice my opinion, even if it is not in favor of my government. I have freedom. For that I am thankful. I have many freedoms. Here I am ...an American who is thankful.

First posting

Well here I am .... learning something new. I have never written a blog before, but have enjoyed reading so many, I thought I'd try it myself. It looks like a challenge, but I could really use that right now. So here I am... lets see what happens.

The challenge that I am going to have, and obviously need, is to find a positive note every day. All the blogs that I have read show women doing just that. Instead of focusing on the negatives in my day, which seem to be overpowering at times, I need to look for the positive. So begins the journey.

The first positive note for my day...
I had a great time with my little grand daughter today. She is three, and is exploding with energy. She never slows down and is almost always has something funny to do or say. Right now, I am experiencing her imaginations . She is not "Nadia", yet she is "Kitty". And then says a cute little "meow". Sometimes she is even "Hiccup Kitty" of which I have no idea from where that came . She always is quick to sit in my lap and give me hugs and kisses. She loves me to read her stories, which has become a bedtime ritual. Nadia can really make a boring day different. Everything is a new and exciting discovery for her. She can really brighten my day.
