Wednesdays Thanks
Good Morning Friends,
It’s that time of year again, with Thanksgiving only 22 days away; what is it that you are thankful for in your life? Over the next 22 days I will share the things that I am Thankful for. My family is the first thing that comes to mind. I enjoy spending time with my children and grandchildren that I am blessed to have in my life. Family is important to me and being able to enjoy time with them doing different things only enriches my life all the more. By sharing the things that we are thankful for it helps remind us of the many blessing in our lives. I hope the day brings you many reasons to smile and be reminded of the blessings in your life!
“You must remember, family is often born of blood, but it doesn't depend on blood. Nor is it exclusive of friendship. Family members can be your best friends, you know. And best friends, whether or not they are related to you, can be your family.”
―Trenton Lee Stewart
Somebody's Daughter
One day while a friend and I were ministering to a prostitute, by buying her dinner in a Chinese restaurant, I opened my mouth and this came out : "People Do Not Want To Hear About Jesus-They Want To Meet Him ". I left that day hoping that through our kindness the young lady had met Jesus.

Two weeks later she showed up with her friends at a church that I was attending. They all accepted Christ as their Lord and Savior.
It turns out that she was working as a stripper to support herself and friends. They ate out of a local grocery store's dumpster. The food we had bought for her and the twenty dollars we had given, restored their hope, faith and gave them the courage to believe that they could change.
She was 19. She was somebody's daughter. She met Jesus.

First Apartment
Having moved into his first apartment, our son invited my husband and I for a visit.
As we walked in, our son asked if we'd like a cold drink.
Mentally patting myself on the back for teaching him to be such a gracious host, I said, "Yes, what do you have?"
He walked over to the refrigerator, opened the door, studied the contents, and then replied, "I have pickle juice or water."
