Thankful Thursday

Here are a few things I’m thankful for this week.

• God’s protection for my grandchildren. We had one trip to emergency this week when youngest granddaughter, who just turned two, opened a supposedly child-proof bottle of children’s ibuprofen and chewed a few tablets. Thankfully, her mother discovered her before she ate very many, and the only treatment required was a glass of milk in the emergency room. The incident reminded me of God’s constant care and protection, keeping all our emergencies small (so far).
  
  
• The sprouting seeds in my garden and the promise of fresh veggies later in the summer. And the rhubarb, which is ready for its first picking.
  
  
• My church and the love she shows to those in need. For the younger people and immigrants who belong to my church.
  
  
• God’s timing, which is always perfect, even when I feel like I’ve been waiting too long.
