Facebook

I know this may seem silly to some, and I know that Facebook will not see this post, but here goes.

I am thankful for Facebook! There I said it. I know that it is kind of like an addiction, a time sucker, but I am still thankful for it. Let me tell you why. When my Dad went into the hospital before Christmas, one of my cousins from down there by him had friended me. I accepted and we began having conversations for the first time in over eight years. She was a Christian now also, so we had a lot more in common. I had mentioned that my Dad (her Uncle) was in the hospital. She told me that she would stop by and see him. So she did. Without Facebook, that would not have been possible. I did not have her phone number and had no way to get ahold of her, or any of my other relatives.

When my Dad got sick a month ago, the same thing happened, except with a different cousin. I contacted her through Facebook and told her what was going on with him. She took control. She would head over to the hospital and give me feedback on what was really happening! Again, I thank GOD for Facebook. Without it, none of this would have been possible.

Finally, when my Dad got sick the last time and was dying, I got ahold of my family via Facebook and let them know what was happening. Same thing happened. Both of my cousins got ahold of thier parents and other siblings and spread the news. People started heading for the hospital to be with family.

Again, all because of one post on Facebook back in December, all of this happened with my family. I thank GOD that I am able to stay in contact with them most of the time! So thank you Facebook for being in existence! For keeping people in touch with one another! I am forever grateful that I was able to let my cousins, aunts and unlces know about what was happening with my Dad!

I praise Your Holy name Jesus!!! You are good!!!
