I'm so thankful to still be here.
I use to have a beautiful house in the country, full of antiques,
nice car & pu truck, horse, a couple of cows, sheep, dogs, and a cat.

Now I'm down to 1 little room, no vehicles, and 1 cat.
But I'm thankful to be alive!

I use to run here, run there.
Worked 2-3 jobs at a time.
Looking back, it's like where was I going?

Life is much simplier now.
I see things so much clearer.
I hear more, I feel more, I understand more.

Most of all my God lives BIG in me.
I was already saved, but gave him very little of my time.
Now God's in everything I do.

I'm thankful that I lived the wreck.
Here to enjoy my life with my kids & grandkids.

Hope everyone has a nice weekend.
