Thank God For the People in my Life.

I have the same routine each morning. I wake up, thank God for the day and head downstairs with the dog at my heels. I stop and plug in the angel tree I made after my mother passed away and go to the kitchen. Cooper's (that's my dog) eyes look up at me as if to say you're taking me out now, right?

I put his leash on and we go out. I love hearing the birds sing and the sound of water running over stones in the pond out back. It's so peaceful. The smell of the morning air is calming.

Cooper and I go in and I get the coffee. Heading upstairs, Cooper's following closely behind again.

Reaching for my Woman's Daily Prayer Book, I open to the day's date and read the message. For July 14th: Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. If they fall, one will lift up the other.-

Ecclesiastes 4:9-10

Thank you, God. Thank you for my fiance, my sisters, my father, my wonderful girlfriends- especially my best friend, (who gave me this book several years ago). I know we are there to lift each other up. I am blessed to have these people in my life.

So many times I wonder what I'd do without them.

Thank you, God, for being in my life. I know there is no better friend than you. I trust and know you will always be there to lift me up. You always do.

Thank you.
