The tears fall silently on my sleeve as I try to find the words to say. I am so blessed in my life, not in the way that some, maybe even most would consider being blessed. Life is not easy, my path is not smooth, my slope is not always gentle. I am blessed.

I see my prayers being answered in my life, if I just slow down I can recognize them. The ones I recognize recently have happened subtly, like a breeze gentling blowing in a window. I have had some that happen immediately with such divine timing there is no question in my mind.

I have found peace in my pain and continue to find growth in my suffering. I have felt love and have felt loved. I have some very good friends and a wonderful family. I have been blessed enough to meet, remember and recognize someone in this life that I know in the next, who’s beauty transcends my earthly capacity to understand.

This morning however my gratitude came out as tears and the words…

I’m sorry, forgive me, I’m not worthy.

I know He loves me anyway and I am grateful, I’m just not worthy.

Keep smiling, you’re worth it!

Always Yours
