fully alive

This is the day the LORD has made and I will rejoice and be glad in it! Psalm 118:24

This is my challenge for the next 6 months. I was at a service years ago and the speaker said to say this every morning before you get out of bed no matter what , I have one this off and on for years but never in a written form. I am excited, even though I know life has its twists and turns and I am human and I dont always feel like giving thanks. So lets see where this goes!!
 I am going to start with yesteray. At work I met an elderly woman who was just diagnosed with non treatable cancer. As i was giving her a pedicure we were taliking about her life and my friend I work with asked the woman if she could pray with her, as she prayed a beautiful prayer of strength and healing over her i also was praying silently for her. I looked at the scene before me, hands were on her praying from my friend and I was litereally washing her feet. I just started to cry, as I thought of the times in the bible when the disciples washed the feet of Jesus and all the other stories of foot washing and healing.
This woman said through her tears that she had so much life in her, so much more to do and see she wasnt ready in that aspect to die yet.
so many times when I hear of an elderly person dieing i think well at least they lived a long life.
Or I have stupidly thought well they are old, they must of realized this is what happens and are ok with knowing their time is coming.
I am thankful for health, more importantly I am thankfull for another day to live and be fully alive!! This ay will go all to fast just like all the previous years I have lived, and I want to make the most of them because like this beautiful hurting woman, there is alot of life left in me!!!
My prayer for her,
Lord you are perfect and you have a perfect plan for us. we dont usually understand what it is and i know she is questioning how this could be your will for her. Please wrap her in peace give her comfort and give her strength.  I pray for healing! let her be a miracle!
