Have A GRATEFUL HEART Thursday
We were walking to the car on one of our last days together (before leaving for stem cell transplant) and I looked down to the ground as I stepped off our cement onto our gravel in our parking/driveway and noticed this heart very clear and pronounced.

It sparkled and caught my attention so clearly that I thought it was a bead or something man made and wondered what might have broken leaving this heart laying on the gravel.
I was so surprised when I picked it up to find that it was a rock.
Having watched the Disney movie A Bugs Live years ago, I can see Flick giving Dot a rock and hear Dot telling Flick, using a tone of voice that implied that she thought Flick was crazy,
"It's a rock!"
He tried to explain to her the importance of that rock or what it represented, but she didn't seem to get it.
Then later in the movie Dot lovingly gives Flick a rock in his time of need - his need to feel loved and of worth.

Well, this rock was given in a time of need - making me feel loved.

It's a rock!
It's a heart!
No matter how you turn it, it's a special heart I found right where I needed it one morning.
It's my Grateful Heart!
It brought me great joy!
This heart now rests in my hutch with other special keepsakes - a visual reminder of LOVE from ABOVE.

It's only the 3rd week of my Grateful Heart posts, but I must say that I am really enjoying these. The post itself isn't what I am enjoying, but the things I think of and write daily are really making a difference in the way I feel.
I decided to keep a page in my planner to write on when something happens that I think is worthy of note. Each time I write something I have looked at some of the other things I previously wrote and it reminds me of the joyful moments that fill a day.
I can see more clearly the hand of the Lord in my life and in the lives of my loved ones. I am so glad that I began this Grateful Heart journey.
These posts for A Grateful Heart are bringing me much joy!
I look forward to the many joyful moments to come.
