Absence makes the heart grow fonder...
I am still so incredibly grateful for all the blessings in my life: my faith in God, continual improved health, family and friends who have helped and inspired me tremendously over the years, and having the ability and knowledge to use a computer in a variety of ways. I am back and I will continue to share my love of God, who has given me so much in my life. I love my friend, Mary Ann, for sharing her passion of God with me. Walking With God By My Side is not just the title of my blog, it is the way I feel in my life and I want and need to share that gift with others. Amen!!!
Moving forward, literally...
Last summer was an amazing year for me, because for the first time in a very long time I had the chance to do a lot of walking with two new and improved feet and ankles that move and feel so much better. My life is good... no, my life is fantastic now! "Thank you, Jesus for sending me to surgeons, Dr. Thomas Lee and Dr. William DeCarbo from Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Center in Westerville, Ohio and to orthopedic shoe guys, John Druckemiller and Dan Kimball, from Hanger Prosthetics and Orthotics in Lima, Ohio." These four men have immensely improved my life overall. Thank you, gentlemen so much, for your valuable time, patience and understanding. My gratitude is overwhelming.
On February 10, 2009, just a tad bit over three years ago, I set-up a YouTube account. I have only uploaded six videos so far, but I would like to add more this year. The following walking video is probably my favorite, because the song speaks so strongly of how I feel in regards to Jesus watching over me!
Ralph Waldo Emerson speaks volumes...
"For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends."
I found seven more gratitude quotes on the internet that I would also like to share with you...
