No pictures today...just words of thankfulness.
I am so thankful for...
...a God who never gives up on me (even in the times it seems everyone else does)
...my children
...friends who remind me to look for the good among the yuck.
...those who are willing to join in prayer to see each other thru hard times.
...the ability to communicate with friends from the past and the present through the internet.
...blue skies with fluffy clouds and bright sunshine.
...fresh new days to start over and then again and again.
...memories of how God has provided in the past to reassure me that He will continue to do so.
...my Bible...so full of things to hold onto that I will never know them all no matter how many times I reread it.
...hoodie sweatshirts, jeans, and flipflops.
...understanding landlords.
...realtors who help you pick up the pieces and love on ya after just meeting you a week ago.
...parents who are taking abuse just b/c they are supportive of ALL their kids not just the current favs.
...friends I have never met who are so willing to say a kind word right when needed most.
...telephones that work when they work and give you a silent break for awhile when they decide they don't want to ring right now.
...laughter...totally underestimated and under used. Nothing beats a belly laugh with your children.
...hugs! OMG...how did I make it so long on so few hugs. How can we get back to hugging more?
...acceptance. I may not have it from everyone, but from the ones I need it most from!
...knowing God in a personal way. and knowing without a doubt that He is real and working and that even the worst of things can be used for good eventually.
...life. (may I never take it for granted or think that my life is worthless no matter what I am told)
It may not be thanksgiving yet. But I need to remind myself of everything I do have at exactly this moment in time. I choose to be thankful!
