Thankful Thursday

 

Happy Thursday, friends! I'm coming at you pretty late on Wednesday night with this, so this post will be short and sweet, and written from the point of view that wasn't feeling very grateful for anything in life at the moment I sat down to this. Perspective is everything, though, and I needed some new of that...so, here goes. 

I'm thankful for friends who come by when they know I'm upset.

I'm thankful for Lisa, who seems to sense when I'm upset and calls me at the right time.

I'm thankful that I have sons who are grown and who can handle my emotions when I let them fly around them.

I'm thankful for the mercies of God that are new every morning, and that He forgives me when I let cuss words come out of my mouth in a moment of extreme anger.

I'm thankful for laughter.

I'm thankful for the gift that work is to me; I love my people there and that I look forward to going every day.

I'm thankful for plans that I've been looking forward to all week finally taking place tonight.

I'm thankful for my mom, and that she's living to take my phone calls. My heart is heavy tonight for people whom I love that are left on earth without parents at far too young an age. 

I'm thankful for my sweet student's mom who prays for me with her daughter each morning, and who trusts me enough to let me in on when they have needs as a family. I love them all so much!

I'm thankful for a house that is all mine, with the people who live in it with me.

I'm thankful for doctors and modern medicine to help when someone is sick.

I'm thankful that I got to see 3/4 of my sons last night when Jonah made dinner!

I'm thankful for you who always shows up here to read this and to encourage me. Thank you! Love to all.
