Thoughts By Trail

(Oh heavenly father thank you for waking us up this morning) Is normally how my day starts the moment my eyes open. Today was no different but a little more special. Today was the day to give thanks to all the blessings I received this year. Though my list is long there is one particular thing that hit me the most. For the past year since my youngest son was born I have been out of work. Unemployment ran out months ago and no new leads on another one has me felling depressed. I’m trying to make ends meet as a single mother raising two wonderful boys all alone with the help of my beautiful family supporting me every step of the way. I have just about depleted my entire life savings and now all I do is cry most nights to sleep wondering what will I do tomorrow.

So what’s different about today? Well as I was wiping my tears away again today I felt a warm fuzzy feeling go over my entire body, like a blanket was was suddenly wrapped around me. At that moment I realized what I should be thanking God for everyday instead of crying to him. Yes I’ve been out of work for over a year now but we still have a roof over our heads, food to eat, clothes on our backs and shoes on our fee. Never once has the electricity, gas, or telephone has been interrupted. We are still able to enjoy what I call luxuries nowadays with the economy a turned around in circles, such as cable and family fun night. That may not sounds like much to the average person but to me and the boys it’s everything. I don’t know how I’ve been able to maintain this long with a steady paycheck, but one thing I do know is that my children are happy and it shows on their faces. What else can a woman ask for.

“Threw God anything and everything is possible” I give you my thanks. Happy Thanksgiving Everyone
