Thankful

 Today we remember this day and we honor heroes who risked it all for the people.

In the midst of a tragedy, so many took a strong stand for our country and left a legacy of selfless sacrifice through true acts love, courage, and heroism.

We remember.

I pray for the individuals and families who suffered loss of loved ones during 9/11. At this time of memorial, it is personal, and hits home in a real real way. May their be comfort and peace upon the brokenhearted and mourning. May there be an intense healing and revival in the spirit of this nation,
The United States of America. 

I can not put into words the gratitude of my heart to have a family. I can not think of an amount of money, possession, or time that would or could ever replace their value.

"Priceless" is an understatement. 

The worth of a sisters bond, a mother's comfort, a big brothers protection, a daddy's hand...these can not be calculated in my mind.

Today  I spent time on the beach with my cousins; family, that up until this month, I haven't seen or spent time with in nearly 4 years. All we did was eat, sit, talk, joke, laugh, walk, swim; but we did all this together. And time spent together can not be taken for granted; because we never know for certain if the one by our side will be there again.

I thank you, God, for my family, for the laughter, and the enjoyment we have and spend together.


Thank you for the real peace that lives in my heart and mind... and for the promise of life, to the full and everlasting.

May you be blessed with the company of love today,

Grace
