so, I'm thinking I should say Thank You...

It struck me yesterday, I should say Thank You to a few people who broke my heart a few years ago... (quite a few years ago, but that is beside the point, hehehe)
I have been trying to say "Thank You" to God more often for the life He has given me, for my husband, family and all His gracious gifts in my life... And it struck me, probably because I'd been thinking about that Adele song "never mind, I'll find someone like you...", I should say Thank you to Paulo for breaking up with me (both of them - I may have had an issue;)) They made me stronger in some regards, frailer in other matters, but, at the end of the day, they freed me from our doomed relationships and taught me a thing or two about being in relationship. I don't do regrets for the things that happened in the past. I am who I am today because of the path I have been on, and it has taken me a long time to like who I am...
So, I'll just put this out there, Thank you for breaking my heart, for loving me while you did, for freeing me when you did. I am really thankful for the life I lead today. I am very thankful for the husband and children I have been gifted with and everyday I find it a bit amazing that I went from the mess you left to here. God is gracious and He is good. And I am thankful...

just wondering...

Something struck me a little while ago, while reading a bit about God's faithfulness... Not that His faithfulness is in question. At.All! He is faithful! But how much I am blessed by the faithfulness of others in my life, who live out God's own in the flesh, day in, day out, doing what is necessary, what is good, what is simple... And even when I am too tired to ask for help, they faithfully step in, and fill in the gap, just like He does, filling in my emptiness with gladness. And I am happy, and thankful!
