Gratitude and a big-head

I have been so blessed and fortunate to receive so many gifts in this past two weeks. These gifts have been all over the place: modest, excessive, unexpected, given with love, given with hope, financial, emotional, spiritual. The whole gamut!! I have people say: you don't have to thank me.....use it well however you see fit.

How does one do this and not take for granted? How does one keep the significance of this in my being?? I don't feel like I can say "thank you" and move on my way. It's not just paying for my lunch today, "I'll get you tomorrow!". I think that is my struggle right now. I want to move forward and past this crisis to be a testament to the gifts I have been given. I want these things to MATTER!! I guess maybe it's a little fear I'm feeling right now. I want to be worthy of these things!!! I pray that the Lord shows me my path as I move through this journey that these gifts I have been given now are passed forward, not forgotten, not discarded!!!

So, what's my bottom line of this ramble??? Hmmm, people: don't expect me not to thank you! Every post I write is an expression on thanks because you are giving me the resources to be able to do it!!! I will never forget!!
