I am Thankful

I know I haven't blogged lately. There really hasn't been too much here to blog about. I didn't know if I could be a normal happy blogger after the entry about my Daddy. I decided to blog on though. Daddy would want me to. Life truly is for the living and that is what we are learning day by day here at our house. It has been a rough two weeks since Daddy passed away and as each day passes it gets a little more real that he is truly gone. I have decided that I have to rejoice in his passing because that is what the Lord wants us to do. The last four days of Daddy's life were very hard. He was extremely ill and in his suffering I saw a glimpse of what Jesus went through. I ached for him and the discomfort and fear he was experiencing and every time I prayed for God's mercy I heard a voice in my head that said "My grace is sufficient". I truly knew that God was there with us during our suffering but his grace truly was sufficient. Now that it is over, I have so many emotions going through my head. I am angry, sad, depressed, happy, relieved, but most of all thankful. I am thankful that I had such a wonderful Christian father. I am so thankful my daughter got to spend time with him. I am so thankful I will get to spend eternity with him in heaven with our Lord Jesus.............................. "give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." 1 Thessalonians 5:18... I have decided that I will now get back to happy blogging and be thankful for everything.
