TUESDAY GRATEFUL POST

  Good Morning Everyone,

Today I am grateful for ALL the things that I am having to go through in my life ( good and not so good).    Grateful for the growth that things cause in my life and in the life of my family members.    Grateful for having 3 wonderful sons and a wonderful husband.   I am grateful for the growth in my life during life experiences no matter how painful they are and how much they hurt me.....I know that in the end they will make me a stronger person for having gone through them.   PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

 I am grateful that through all the huge obstacles and HELL I went through as a child and young adult, I survived. I am grateful that having an abusive mother and father, taught me how NOT to treat my children. I learned to not treat them as I was treated. Instead to love them, and cherish them, and help them grow with love and confidence. I learned that every day does come to an end, and a new one emerges. I learned that I can survive on my own, I do not need anyone else to live. (its nice to have loved ones though). I learned how to listen to others, and help guide others who are stuggling or lost.  I learned to be in awe and love myself. That I came from a horrible situation, and instead of becoming a victim of it, I became a survivor. And I am grateful that I can forgive my parents, and yet have the strength to stay away and distance myself to not let the abuse continue.  Thank you Lord.
