Spoiler Alert! Preaching Post!
So, did you get out of bed by yourself? Perhaps take a shower, make breakfast, grab a cup of coffee, and head into your day without anyone's assistance? Three weeks ago, I would have replied yes to all of these questions and, for that matter, taken them all for granted. Currently I need help with all these tasks. I don't tell you this for sympathy. I am surround...ed by wonderful caregivers. I simply want to invite you (and me) to take a moment to be grateful for the simple pleasures we enjoy....walking, reaching, holding, climbing, sitting down, standing up. To Jesus, Yahweh, our Higher Power or who ever you give thanks, may THIS MOMENT not pass without a whisper of gratitude for ALL that has been given. We are blessed indeed.
