Thankful

This afternoon I was reminded in multiple ways how thankfulness transforms - it changes our poor, sour outlooks into something full of life and light.

This week we had a few snafus, some small, some large. I was in a foul mood most of the week and complained and whined like a baby about it at one point. I am not proud of myself for acting so immature, so ungrateful and bitter.

God is always so good to us regardless. 

I was reminded today, through two precious friends, that it can always be worse. That I have so much to be thankful for. 

I am thankful for my God, who loves me despite my sin.

I am thankful for my husband, who is the hardest working man I know.

I am thankful for my parents who are wise and wonderful.

I am thankful for my friends, who are my second family.

I am thankful for my home, in all its comfort.

I am thankful for my dog Bella who is the best greeter I know.

I am thankful for my cat Tiny who purrs whenever he sees me. 

I am thankful for the small things: coffee, sunshine, cherry blossoms.

I am thankful for warm hugs, deep conversations, messages full of encouragement. 

I am thankful for this outlet to share my heart and my life.

What are you thankful for today?


Be a peach and vote! Thanks!
