Tuesday Gratitudes and prayers needed

With fires raging throughout Southern California, tonight makes me grateful for: a home safe from fires, going out for pizza, being able to treat my son's youth group to donuts after their meeting in our home, my hubby keeping up with the laundry, good friends at work. Also, prayers are needed for a colleague. She is in the beginning stages of breast cancer. My heart and prayers go out to her. While receiving this news today, we also learned that another colleague (and her hubby who also works at our school) gave birth to their first child today. Joy and sorrow in the same day. Isn't that how life is?

Joys and Sorrows - seems like the very fiber of our lives, and the trick of life is making sure that you appreciate the one while not losing hope from the other. Keeping your state, your colleauges, and YOU in my prayers.

That's the key...keeping a balance between the joys and the sorrows. Glad you are safe from those terrible fires.
