Life has many twists and turns and it all leads to gratitude

Well the past couple of weeks have been hard here. I went from driving some to not driving at all to starting to drive again. I will never take for granted walking or driving again. It's when you can't do it the most that you truely find where your strength lies and how much you have to be gratiful for. I am so gratiful for my family, my friends, and the people I have come in contact with. The kids in my ROCK group are a lot of fun and I find that if I'm not there one time it's like I have missed so much. I love seeing the kids who were shy last year when I met them have come out of their shell this year. I am so excited for the Christmas program that we are doing. One is on the sunday before Christmas and the other is Christmas eve. They are excited about this program as am i. I love watching them change and it changes me at the same time. I have gained so much over the last 2 and a half months and one of the lessons that I have learned is that GOD is truely my heavenly father and he loves me for me. He loves me during the good, the bad, and the ugly. I am so thankful for the challenge of running the ROCK group because it forces me to get out of my shell more too. Life around me is awesome!
