I was standing at the sink washing dishes and thought how grateful I am to be alive and able to do the little things - like washing dishes (my least favorite chore, and yet one of the most rewarding). I was able to mow the front yard this morning - it was not yet 100 degrees and it felt good to be able to look at the yard and know it had been mowed.
I am well aware that it is only by the grace of God I have a life and have been given this time. I see the things the Lord does for us on a daily basis and have much to be grateful for.
