COUNTING BLESSINGS
Every day can be REMEMBRANCE DAY!
SO THANKFUL FOR:
106. People of courage and valor, in whatever their uniform, who gave their lives to serve their country. God bless all families as they remember their fallen loved ones!
107. Our dependable and trustworthy public servants of every branch who serve the people.
108. Dedicated, competent and skilled hospital/medical staff of every type in every area of need.
109. Those who are skillful at educating others. Hubby just received another beautifully hand-written note from one of his former students.
110. My amazing colleagues! We probably spend more time at work than we do with family at home. My co-workers have become friends and mean much more than I can ever tell. I’ve learned so much from each one.
111. People in political arenas who demonstrate integrity, honesty and wisdom in carrying out their God given leadership roles.
112. Compassionate and kind front line caregivers who don’t shun to do the most unpleasant of tasks in the daily routine of those entrusted to their care.
113. The freedom to express our thanks to God in the ways we chose. So glad for the time for personal reflections on the blessings in our lives!
114. My uncle who led a quiet, godly life and who at the age of 91 was laid to rest last week. May the Lord comfort my dear aunt and family as they deal with this time of sorrow.
115. Meeting all the younger 2nd cousins at the funeral in Calgary who I had never met before. It was fun to see the family resemblances, get to know who they really are and exchange families memories.
116. Coffee time with old friends to share common memories.

117. Surprises – those of the positive kind!
118. That our son and his dear family are making plans to return to Edmonton. Still finding it hard to believe that it’s going to happen.
119. A very lovely home for them to rent as soon as they get here at the end of the month. So happy for the generosity of siblings one for another!
120. For blog friends who will pray that all things will fall into place for this young family, especially that both will be able to find jobs.
And whatever you do,
whether in word or deed,
do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus,
giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Colossians 3:17

It got me thinking my own memories. Used to love coloring the poppies and trying to remember "In Flanders Field" in school.
I am so glad your siblings are looking out for one another. What more could a parent want?
Sending prayers their way - I'm sure they will find jobs. Good ones too!
Sorry for the loss of your uncle...
Sharing your joy in your family moving closer....
Blessings
