#37 ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY (AUGUST 7, 2017):

Several years ago, I was at a ladies meeting and challenged by a missionary friend of mine, Renee, to keep something called a Thanksgiving basket.  The idea is that you start at the beginning of the year, writing down blessings you have received and other things that you're thankful for on a piece of paper and put them into the basket. Then at the end of the year you can go back and see all the things that God has done for you during that past year.


Had I started that at the beginning of this journey, my basket would be overflowing. So here is what I intend to do.  Today marks the one-year anniversary of when this journey with brain cancer began. There have been times through this past year that doctors have indicated I possibly wouldn't be here today. However, God has had other plans. So, as I celebrate this one-year anniversary today, I am also going to start my Thanksgiving basket. Keep watching this blog because God-willing, I plan in another year to have my 2-year anniversary at which time I will be able to share with you some of the blessings that I have put in my Thanksgiving basket. I encourage you to do the same. You will be encouraged as you go back and see all of the things that God has done for you during the past year.  It’s a great way to be reminded of all that God does for us.


Mungu mtukufu aliye Bwana (To God be the glory)



“. . . and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.” - Malachi 3:10
