Thank you, Lord

Thank you, Lord, for painkillers for my wisdom tooth that needs to be extracted on Weds. under general anesthia. Thank you for a compassionate, kind, patient, and wonderful dentist, Dr. Le.

Thank you, Lord, for a husband who loves and cares for me and our family, a man who does all the laundry and cleans house while I'm down from the pain.

Thank you for my granddaughter, Natalie, and her 5th birthday today.

Thank you, Lord, for a cool breeze in high 90s temps, for sunshine, for blue skies, for blooming flowers.

Thank you, Lord, for the opportunity to serve you in the church nursery during VBS. Thank you for the joy of working with the toddlers and their curiosity. Thank you for the memories it brought back to me about my own sons.

Thank you, Lord, for three sons who show such concern for me during these last few painful days with my toothache. Thank you for their hugs, words of concern, and the prayers of Michael.

Thank you, Lord, for the blessing of reading and books to try and take my mind off the pain. Thank you for the authors that write them.

Thank you, Lord, for my quiet time and devotional. Thank you for always being there for me, in the good times and the bad. Thank you for your death on the cross to bring us salvation. When I contemplate the pain for this toothache and then think of your death on the cross, I cannot even imagine the physical pain you endured for me. It makes me love you even more.
