Eleven Days of Gratitude: Day Six

6. I am grateful for TODAY. This past summer my mom had some really hard days fighting her cancer. There were days she'd say to me,"I don't think I'll make it through this." My response to her was that I couldn't promise tomorrow, only today. Today was a hard fight, but she would live.
I am reminded of that as I look at Rachel. I do not know what the future holds for her, how the Spina Bifida will affect her tomorrow, but for today, she is doing great.
I think about it as I look at each of my other kids. I do not know what tomorrow holds for their health, but I know that today, they are healthy and strong.
I think about it for myself and John. I do not know what tomorrow holds in store for us, but I know that today is a good day.
I can spend my time worrying about what may happen tomorrow, and, though preparation is good, it often leads me to frustration and doubt. All I know is that TODAY is a good day!
