I am Blessed

I am blessed. I am blessed with family, children, grandchildren,friends, students, parents of students, acquaintances, business associates, ministry friends. I have been receiving SO much encouragement -- phone calls, emails, visits, gifts, meals, an outpouring from people everywhere. This has held me up this past week as I await an appointment with the surgeon this Thursday afternoon. Waiting is hard. The unknown is certainly that -- unknown. My daughter and grandson arrived home last week to stay with us until December 16th. I am blessed to have them in the house -- I am not lonely while waiting. Just their presence here comforts me. I am blessed to have people drop by and share their lives with me. I am blessed by all my students -- it keeps my mind off this 'thing' for a few minutes each lesson. Although I am a bit weary and struggling to rest, I am still blessed. I love having people in our home. I know that I am being called to a rest for a time. My daughter is trying to help me in this, but I think it takes awhile for me to slow down. I did watch a Christmas movie this afternoon and laughed. Laughter is good medicine. I love to laugh. Tonight a friend stopped by to give me and my daughter a pedicure, however, another friend arrived as well, and received a pedicure, along with my daughter. I taught another student. Babies, pedicures, students playing classical music. What could be better? God is good. Night.
