Ten Things of Thankful is a great weekend post, a celebration of the good stuff. I have a lot of that good stuff, so let’s go!
- I’m able to walk! I was in a wheelchair for 2.5 years and could not stand for long and could walk only about 30 feet. God answered prayers while we were at the beach in 2011. I enjoyed a walk just now. On my own two feet! I don’t take that for granted anymore.
- I have two ugly feet but as a PT told me, the folks with prosthetics for feet would give anything to have my ‘ugly’ tootsies.
- I could have chopped off my finger or hand last week while cutting hedges. Or worse. I’m grateful for all 10 fingers.
- I could be paralyzed (or in heaven) after a serious horseback riding accident. I only suffered some mild brain damage, which is less evident with spell check and word suggestions.
- Our son helped us with taxes today, exhibiting patience that he did not inherit from me! My dearest teaching widower is sooo patient!
- through 9. We have air conditioning, hot running water, a wonderful house, and a peaceful neighborhood.
10. We are saved and loved by Jesus, so our lives are in perfect hands. No matter what happens, this is the worst it gets for Christ-followers. One moment with Him is worth a trillion of anything else. Christopher likes to play the “What would you do for all the money in the world?” game. I used to think all the money in the world was a great idea. Now I realize there are so many other, better things! What about you?
Wonder ttot!!

Very excellent TTOT
Surely it is one of the most available (and all too often under-utilized) ways to renew our outlook on life… to know what might have been/once was/ and is now and appreciate what we have.
…cool

Great reminder of what a gift it is to be alive!
I agree with you, there are so many things that are more important than money!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading your TToT post and also reading about Christopher and the story you wrote for him. I hope that it is a help to him.
I’m glad that you survived the horseback riding accident, that you are able to walk again.
Oh, the perils of gardening and the need to be careful. So glad you have all your digits. It makes blogging so much easier too.🙂
Love your #10.

Thank you for your kind comments! I am grateful for all my digits as well. I think I need stronger glasses because at first glance, I thought you said I needed all 10 of them for BEGGING. And I laughed out loud at my mistake!
