Thankful for the “Not-So-Small” Things

What are you thankful for this week? Does it take something big to bring you to a moment of thanks or do recognize the small things too? Sometimes the “small” things are not as miniscule as we once thought…in the right perspective.

Not so “small” things I am thankful for:
-         For a stomach that digests my food as it is supposed to

-         For not taking any medications at the fabulous age of forty

-         A daughter who trust God

-         Boldness to advocate for my child

-         A mom willing to drive us to the doctor’s today

-         A friend willing to loan me her car so I could take Mary to the doctors

-         Prayer warriors lifting not only me, but my entire family in prayer

-         Wisdom given to scientist to develop new medications

-         Wisdom of my daughter’s doctor to make a diagnosis

-         And prescribe the right medication

-         To join the middle school band on the field trip ~ as planned!

-         To watch the doctor interact with my daughter “woman-to-girl” using her personal experiences to bring comfort and assurance to a very nervous young thirteen year old

-         To see my daughter smile after listening to the doctor

-         To watch the stress lines leave my parent’s cheeks when the doctor’s words are shared

-         A husband who responds via text ~ “Yeah, BOSTON!!!!” then calls to share in the good news

-         Perseverance to endure

-         Hope in Jesus as our strength

-         To serve the Great Physician

-         For doctors who serve the same God and principles

-         A doctor’s willingness to listen and help plan a more “natural” treatment versus heavy doses of medications and treatments

-         Cindy’s Josbena’s Wellness class…her faith and knowledge

-         For the cellular phone to call and text family/friends before we even started the car in North Syracuse

I am thankful for each of you. I bet next week’s “Monday With Mags” will be one of her best. A new perspective on life through this trial. Thank you for being you, for your prayers, love, and support! You are all considered a blessing in our lives.
