What I Am Thankful For...

I have not posted many "I am thankful for" posts... I generally place my thankfulness at the feet of the one who gave them to me...But tonight is a special night yet a sad night...One yr ago this evening right about this time...as a MOM my world was teetering on crumbling... Grace had just been loaded into a critical care emergency transport unit and an AWESOME EMT was doing his best to hold me all together as his partner worked with Grace and called out all her stats and such so we could be given the OK to leave one hospital and go straight to another detouring the Brenner's ED and going straight up to her room...where numerous nurses, Drs., and specialist were literally awaiting her arrival! We were met in the hallway in fact just off the elevator by 3 top notch folks. The exchange of information taking place was at rapid speed from one set of personnel to another. Grace was lifted up by two gentle giants and transferred from one gurney to the next. And thus life as I had known it was passed. Life as a carefree child is something Grace will never know again. So for tonight for all those personnel and the many more that have come to follow...I'd like to say thank you! For all my friends and family who called, sent sf candy, sent flowers, sent cards, sent balloons, and for those of you who held my hand and said nothing...because what do you say???...Just know that I love you all and I am THANKFUL for each and every one of you. To all of you who made a meal, wiped a tear, donated time and money to help in any way. I am thankful for you. For those of you who are still here by my side...by Grace's side...I am THANKFUL for you. Thank you for all your prayers...and PLEASE keep praying! She will now and forever need all her prayer warriors. And with out any doubts on my part... I am thankful for the Master's hands that have a plan above and beyond what any of us can ever even begin to imagine. Jeremiah 29:11
