that list

I talked about a list of 100 plus things that I am grateful for that I really have not thanked God for as they are just ''there'' and so of course I had not thought that maybe God would like to know that I appreciate them- I know He knows my heart but maybe-he would also like to hear my ''heart-
so as soon as I have generated the 'list' I will start to post it------- the 100 is just a number I choose as I could never complete the numbers that belong in the list as there would be not enough time but it is a start......
an example is :
1. the color red== God has given us so many shades of red in nature plus the knowledge to create more reds on our own- it is a color to warm the heart- and often used as the love color--it is the color of our blood which gives us life- God created the many colors of red - papa had a saying that I would like to share- '' every woman deserves a little red in her life.....'' (meaning that it is ok to be good to yourself too)
thank you, Lord for the color ''red''-

this is sort of the kind of list I had in mind and the reasons why I appreciate the particular gift from God.......

2 months with the Father

today is papa's graduation date for his first two months with his Jesus-
so I thought I would say a thank you for the blessings from God who gave his only Son so that because papa David believed in Him he has eternal life-

I surely do miss him daily and often think of his kindness=
He had a heart of service and was always willing to go an extra
mile - he was such a good dad, and grand dad and even snuck in
the great grandpa
---
here today we had some rain and the sky has been grey all day- or is that gray?
the g'kid and I walked to church today and heard the bells ringing from a neighbor hood church- it was such a blessing to listen to them and remind
us in hearing of God's love-
we had a quiet day as both of us have off tummies but we did manage to eat and
the boy who is a friend hung around all day.......the kids did not go any where so
Oma read in her room- not that they are a bother or miss behave but some how
their energy makes me tired- the dog runs back and forth following them
knowing that chips will fall where he can pick them up-
we seldom need to vacuum due to crumbs as Dogman lives to clean/eat- he is
not pleased with clean children--LOL
our grand daughter is 18 and has been a great blessing to both hubby and I during our journey with cancer.....she hung in with us through the good and bad-
I was reading this afternoon that suggested that we make a list of a 100 things that we are grateful to the Lord for that we often take for granted so stay tuned- I would do it tonight but I thought I would like to do it in pencil first and just take the time to also thank the Lord for each one- and of course, we would make more than one list.........or just continue the list-maybe make a whole book/journal - some thing to work on-----

Saturday hugs

Saturday night at our house used to be full or filled with grand kids until papa got too sick to have so many over nighters- we did have a couple of nights for him but we could see that it was too hard for him-----he was a wonderful Papa and is sadly missed- he took one grand daughter to church for 18 years and then as her sisters came along they too went...... they know where dear papa is and are at peace with his going to Jesus-- one describes it as Papa shaking hands with God and he is safe-
Now the Saturday nights are over for the most part although one of the grand kids now lives with me.....it is easier for her to work at her job as her little town has no jobs for her......
we will do more Saturday nights and although they will never be the same we will find joy and have a new tradition to build-
must go and get off to bed as morning comes too soon- sometimes--
good night from my house to yours
