Before cancer came to our house we took all those little things in life for granted- not even classifying them as BLESSINGS- then cancer came to teach us our blessings.

soon after the cancer noticed blessings came : such as getting up together in the morning -taking a walk to the bathroom too-- chicken noodle soup was papa's favorite blessing--chemo was a blessing. friends were a blessing- prayer was a blessing--and so on and so--I know you will get the picture -

we also lost old blessings- papa was too sick to even sit in a shower- his feet were so swollen that he could not get his shoes on---he could not read ----his hair fell out and grew in a soft baby fine gray-( he had his spender instead of his strength)
he did not have a eating plan anymore as he could not eat- then one day he could not walk- then one day he was too weak to sign his name-- then one day he could not drink water because he could not swallow- but God showed me how to bless him by dropping water into his mouth slowly one drop at a time--drops no bigger than my tears- then he was too weak to open his eyes but God sent Miss Ashley to hold papa hubby's eyes open- she was his blessing-his friends held his hands and they were his blessings- and his faith was strong in his weakness..
I see so much now- I understand so much now- little blessings do count- if you could read this note- you were /are blessed-
******a verse for you on my way out of the blog
''The glory of the young men is their strength, gray hair the splendor of the old.''
please count your blessings as blessings- because when you lose your blessings - they will be missed
