Counting... Counting down the hours till the new year arrives Got me to thinking ... What a perfect time to count my blessings from 2018. There are way too many to list here but I'll name a few. !) Through the trials of 2018 I have definitely come closer to the Lord. I admit it has not been enjoyable (the suffering) but it has been effective. Apparently, it was the ONLY way I could get to this point. After all, Father knows best. 2) The biggest hardship of this year was Mom's severe brain injury which nearly led to her death on March 9th.This was totally unexpected (and therefore even more traumatic.) God mercifully spared her life and even astounded doctors who 'wrote her off' that first month. Ten months later, she is still alive! God is good. He has brought her through so many complications since and healed her in remarkable ways. Yes, she is still in critical condition. But she is a miracle, all the same. Time and again. Praise be unto His Name! 3) After a long period of being unable to write poetry (writer's block), God started the creative juices flowing again by George and Ayin Jade setting up a Poetry Club here. Since it was started on June 26th He has graciously helped me write over 20 poems! I am grateful and give Him the glory. 4) I have made new and special friendships this year at Worthy. I have met brothers and sisters here who have blessed me through their encouraging words and stood by me with their faithful prayers. They have laughed with me when I have laughed and cried with me as I have cried. To my Worthy Family... Thank you for being one of the biggest blessings of 2018
