I've had a lot of thinking time this week while sitting in the
hospital with my Mother who is battling pneumonia.
It's moments or events like these when you realize what is important
may be different than what was on the daily schedule.
I'm thankful that I live in a community with state of the art medical
facilities, dedicated nurses and skilled doctors ,
for the beauty of the Christmas season,
for my family that have taken over my farm duties
while I have been taking care of Mother,
and
for the extended family and sweet friends
that have lifted us up in prayers and offers of help.

Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything
give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
I Thessalonians 5:16-18
