As I was praying today I found myself praising God and thanking Him. Thanking Him for creating two amazing boys and giving them to me to enjoy for a while. Thanking Him for making a place in heaven for them and receiving them with open arms. Thanking Him that he made a way to live a life here worthy of heaven so I can see my boys again. Thanking him for being with us always even when our hearts don't understand and because he deserves all honor and praise and who am I? I will still love him and I will forever Praise Him! When life is sweet say thank you and celebrate, when life is bitter say thank you and grow! Kathy can be reached at ; godinthegrief@gmail.com I'd love to hear from you.
