There is yet much to be thankful for...

Last night I drove to my grandmother's home to help her get ready for bed.  My mom was taking care of her last night, but due to a knee injury she was unable to do the lifting required to help MorMor change to her pajamas, and get into bed, so I offered to help.  Cute MorMor!!  She seemed a little more like her old self last night, at least for a little while.  She smiled and laughed and it was nice :)  After I got her in bed, she said sort of a prayer - she sometimes starts out saying something, in this case expressing gratitude to my mom and I for helping her so much last night, for making the day as pleasant as possible, and then it ends up as a prayer.  She said this phrase that stuck out to me:  "There is yet much to be thankful for."  I thought about that - there is yet much to be thankful for.  My little grandma is so old, her body is not doing anything that she would like it to do.  She is lonesome for her sweetheart.  She has dementia.  She is dying.  And yet there is much to be thankful for.  She then said "I would like to close that in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen."  What a sweet prayer of gratitude!  I thought about how I need to be more like that - even in the midst of the trial there is yet much to be thankful for.  MorMor is still teaching me.
