THANKFULNESS

THANKFULNESS

My November blog is going to be a writing of Thankfulness.

I live in an open neighborhood in the Desert where the houses are still semi scattered although they are growing closer together each year, this is because I live in a semi small City that was founded in 1964, and it has grown over the last 40 years, with the exception of a  huge decrease of growth over the last 4 years. This City is in a State that stills holds true for the most part Non Liberal views.  This fact makes me happy.
It is my right to not be Liberal, just as it is others rights to want to be Liberal.
This too, makes me happy.
My State of course is combined with many other States that makes up the United States of America.
This also makes me happy.
And although my Country seems to be tossed to and fro with every Wind of Doctrine, I am still very happy to be a part of it.
Evil abides in every corner as it should.
But Grace and Mercy and Love from our God also abides in every corner.
I am in Gods corner.
This makes me more than happy, this fact makes me Thankful and in awe of his Almighty Presence, and his abiding Longsuffering so no one should perish.
I am blessed beyond measure, in this little corner I live in.
This last 4 years has been a roller coaster.
Death has taken it's toll on many we know and love dearly.
Cancer has struck in our family with no mercy.
Family members have lost their homes.
Finances have been tight.
Loved ones have flew the nest and moved across the Country.
But.................
Death has remained afar for many of our loved ones.
Cancer has spared some of our loved ones.
Family members have managed to keep their homes.
Finances have managed to keep us afloat.
And many of our loved ones still live down the street.
So I am going to choose Thankfulness once again.
I pray you do too.
Ruthy.
