Appreciating life and service

Today's Veteran's Day and we are deeply appreciative of all Veterans - friends/family who have served, all the thousands who have served over the years, their wives/husbands and families, so thankful.

Today was a funeral for a woman who died in a car accident leaving a husband and 5 kids behind - 2 w/severe special needs. Made me think about life and how grateful I am to be alive. Baby has a shorted life expectancy...my dad's 1 year anniversary is coming up, my mom's been gone for years, I'm only in my 30's and an only child...Steve's mom died when the kids were babies...one of our foster blessings was on hospice...thinking about the election and people running for various positions that are pro abortion/partial birth abortion/ or ok w/allowing abortion until moments before a baby is born...ugh...life is so very precious.

I visited my Grandma before the funeral and at almost 89, know that her time is limited too...

Then tonight I went to the van to look for library books and the stars were out and so bright and limitless and I know that despite death, God is so much bigger. And I am so humbled and relieved at that thought.
