Member letter: Counting my blessings—life, health, adoption

After suffering from severe leg cramps, I know that every day that I’m able to open my eyes, draw breath, and get out of bed I have been blessed by the Lord. Why He’s so good to me I don’t know. I certainly do not deserve all He does for me. My brothers and I were adopted, and I know He picked my mom and dad out just for me. He put me in a preacher’s home, and it doesn’t get any better than that. My dad has gone on to be with Lord now, and I am caring for my mother. She is 90, but I still learn from her every day. She couldn’t handle steps anymore, and wasn’t able to go to church, but God provided a house for us that is easier to get in and out of. Now she’s in the car before I can help her, and we can go to worship on Sundays and Wednesdays. God is good. All the time!
