Grateful for...

hello there...

it's been a while since i've joined up with the gratitude gang
@ 52 weeks of grateful with maxabella.

 

i was having a conversation yesterday

with a friend who just popped in unexpectedly

and we talked about life..as you do.

 

 

actually she brought over a beehive cake...

kind of a sweet bun with custard cream in the centre

&

roasted flaked almonds on top...delicious.

 

but i told her i wasn't eating sweet stuff at the moment...

for the last couple of weeks really,

just sugar stuff

and i felt better for it.

 

sugar is my weakness.

unfortunately i never feel satisfied with a little

and always crave more when i start eating it.

 

but

all of a sudden

i was grateful for all of my weaknesses...not just the sugar thing...

'cos i realised

that if i wasn't weak in any way

i wouldn't need to call on God

and i wouldn't see the miracles that i've seen in my life

and that i expect to turn up even now

when i need them to.

 

when my kidneys were failing over a year

He healed them.

 

when i've had financial troubles

He's provided just in time.

 

when i doubt that anyone loves me

He does...and He shows me in amazing ways.

 

i really don't know how to live life without Him

and i don't want to.

 

Him & me...we're best of friends...we go way back to when i was fourteen

and i was desperate to find out the purpose of life...

and He gave me hope and a new life.

 

but i'm human

and sometimes i don't talk to Him as much as i should

but He doesn't go off in a huff...He's there when i come back to Him.

 

so my weaknesses give Him an opportunity

to strengthen our relationship...

and i'm grateful.
