Grateful for family near, able to see them regularly and keep in touch. Occasionally worship with them. Spending time with grandkids. Enjoying our in-laws. Grateful for family far, invited to retirement parties now (instead of weddings and baby showers) that remember and love us. Grateful for family gone, a good upbringing and good memories. Remembering Mousie, Grandpa Bill and Chester. Grateful for overhead fans and washer/dryers. Grateful for Jesus, who loves me all the way to redemption and beyond.
Barb: Love your list and the gentle way that you mentioned gratitude for all your family, even those who are gone.
