When I was growing up I had the best child hood ever! My family lived around me, my cousins lived beside me and in front of me. My grandmother was near also. They were all in walking distance! We played games like Hide and seek, softball, freeze tag and lots of others. My grandmother loved to cook, and she was great at it! I loved to go to her house and eat. Every morning before school we would go to my grandmothers house before we caught the bus, she would fix us grits and toast. I can not believe that she made instant grits taste so good. And she used to have those little Debbie cakes. Mmmmmmm they were so good! We would work the crossword puzzles, put together jigsaw puzzles, and we loved any kind of challenge, she bought us all a Rubik's cube when they first come out. And the peg game, we had to figure out how to leave just one, and we did! LOL! OMG she cooked the best catfish stew, and vegetable soup, I have never had any vegetable soup that taste so good!
Unfortunately, we all took her for granted, we thought she would be around forever, my grandfather he was sick a lot, he had a pace maker, and he was diabetic, and he had gout real bad. The doctors told him one time that he only had months to live, he lived a lot longer and he outlived my grandmother.
I think we take God for granted a lot! We go on our way and we don't thank God for his blessings in our lives. We are not thankful for the things we have and we always want more. Take some time today to talk to God and thank him for what he has given you!
Today I am going to enjoy what I have, a nice home, a wonderful family and great friends!
You're making me cry! :)
