correction

It is Reily's birthday today. It's hard to believe she has been in this world for 11 years. I have deleted the original post that was here. It was just another of my whine- fests. I had one of those learning moments earlier. I found myself in the middle of a lecture on being grateful and I felt like I should have been talking to myself. I have tons to show gratitude for but my usual response is the opposite. I woke up this morning in a dry comfortable house. I got out of bed and walked on two legs and feet. I found something to eat for breakfast in the pantry as well as something to take for lunch. I also had a vehicle to drive to work and pleasant people to work with. I came home to the same dry house where my wonderful wife and two healthy kids were hanging out... I have got to keep reminding myself how good I've got it. Also, I have a nice comfortable bed to get into in a few minutes (hopefully) and rain is falling outside. Thank you God, for Jesus and the cross, Your love, mercy, patience,...
