My sister sent me this. It spoke to me too, Alice. We have a lot to thank Him for simply because He is God and that means I don't have to be!
DEAR GOD:
I want to thank You for what you have already done.
I am not going to wait until I see results or receive rewards; I am thanking You right now.
I am not going to wait until I feel better or things look better; I am thanking You right now.
I am not going to wait until people say they are sorry or until they stop talking about me; I am thanking You right now.
I am not going to wait until the pain in my body disappears ; I am thanking You right now.
I am not going to wait until my financial situation improves; I am going to thank You right now.
I am not going to wait until the children are asleep and the house is quiet; I am going to thank You right now.
I am not going to wait until I get promoted at work or until I get the job; I am going to thank You right now.
I am not going to wait until I understand every experience in my life that has caused me pain or grief; I am thanking You right now.
I am not going to wait until the journey gets easier or the challenges are removed; I am thanking You right now.
I am thanking You because I am alive.
I am thanking You because I made it through the day's difficulties.
I am thanking You because I have walked around the obstacles. I
am thanking You because I have the ability and the opportunity to do more and do better.
I'm thanking you because FATHER, YOU haven't given up on me.

Julie,
Found you doing a google search and wanted to say hello. Remember our days at Winthrop? I think of you often and would love to catch up. I think you will have my email after I post, so please get in touch. My daughter, Madeline, is now 7 and the joy of my life. I'd love for you to get to meet her sometime. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas. Kathy
Kathy,
It was great to hear from you! Oh, how I remember our days at Winthrop! I can't believe Madeline is 7! Time truly flies! Your email did not post, so send me an email to jkstrib@yahoo.com! Look forward to hearing from you. I would love to see you & Madeline!
Julie
