Be thankful!!!

Have you ever read Ecclesiastes? Its a book of the Bible- (an incredible literary work by the way, that everyone should read, for history's sake if nothing else)! Anyway, I was reading this morning in this book by King Solomon, the king of Israel, 935 b.c., and such wisdom came to me. Everyone lives and dies and we cannot really change much of when that will happen, but we can change what we view as important! People are the only things that matter! How we treat them, how we love them, and our time with them! Are we grateful for the time they are given to us?

Today I thought of my kids. They are 20, 13 and 11. They are slipping into their own reality of what they think life is. I can't stop time. I can't stop their growing, but I can take them to a place where they are forced to look deep in themselves to find out who they are. Another country can do that!! I'm sure here in America there are places we could go too, but changing cultures, currency, and availability to acquire fast food, now THAT'S deep!!!

My prayer for my kids is that later in their life, they will be thankful and grateful for what they have and whats been given to them, and understand how, they are, the only ones who can do that for them!!

Blessings!!

So who would've thought the patient that told me all about Australia would meet my mother! Even though I had warned him if he ever were to meet her he could not tell her that his only daughter left America to live in Australia... forever! But he must've forgot, because he walked in to her bank, (out of all the banks in San Diego...) and she waited on him,(she's not even a teller but was helping out right then...) and he shared with her that he just got out of the hospital and is on his way to see his daughter in Australia! She remembered me talking about a patient I had, and craziness happens again!! How could anyone think this is coincidence?? I sooooo believe God is in this! Now it's up to me to wait for all the pieces to fall into place. I am moving forward as much as I can, but I am so impatient!

If anyone is following this please pray! My ex husband is being stubborn and I don't want to go to war with him. God knows what must be done, I want to follow his plans!

Thanks all!!
