Thanksgiving 2011

Thanks … for life, love and passion.

[This special prayer of thanks is given to the people who were involved in my recent brush with death. 

For 8 days I suffered with acute pancreatitis – a sometimes fatal condition. 

The team of physicians, nurses and specialists took care of my failing body. Others joined around in prayers, ministries and healing touches. The talk and expectations became somber, but healing filled my body and I am grateful to praise God for mercy and healing.]

To the Almighty who is omnipresent and ever-present.

To the blessed twins who are also the mothers of the grandest children.

To Susan who applied her skills and determination that I should not die just now.

To Grace, Jessica and Christa who were ministering spirits and annointed me with oil and Prayer.

To the EMS folk that got me quickly and safely to the hosptal.

For pain medication which was the only alternative to a noose or hand grenade.

For applesauce and Eggland's Best.

To my healers David Peters and Dr. Dan Mudryck who tend to my body and soul.

For the understanding clients who have waited for their work to be done.

For sleep and building strength.

For my desire to pick up the pen and camera and keep working to make pretty letters

and take good photos.

For green tea and phosfood.

For rice.

For the rest and peace I have enjoyed.

Happily, gratefully and before God's throne – Thank You.
