I’ve always understood that the counterpart to apathy, discouragement, selfishness is thanksgiving. That’s where I am today. Longing for lightheartedness and freedom, so I give thanks.
Lately, I’m thankful for:
- rain to nourish the earth (hopefully bringing cooler weather with it)
- a husband who loves me in spite of my moods
- a group of believers to meet with once a week; to talk, reflect, question, challenge, encourage
- a sister who makes me laugh
- a roof over my head
- upbeat music to perk up any stressful day
- scripture to turn to when I’m stuck, bummed, selfish, etc
- God’s mercy that embraces me every morning
- a [Starbucks] caffeine boost on tired mornings
- the reality that God is not surprised by any of the madness in the world today; He is Sovereign
- fun people to work with
- a cell phone to communicate with friends all over the state
- the fact that my only niece is getting baptized this weekend
- parents who love and support us
- a best friend who never judges me when I’m being ridiculous
- a job that I enjoy
- the fact that October is almost here! I’m ready for bonfires and soups and boots.
- the ability to go for a jog
- Jesus, just Jesus
- a husband I love to laugh and hang out with
- a Heavenly Father who welcomes this prodigal daughter, over and over again
- a fun, eventful Fall season filled with friends and family
- the red and orange leaves beginning to make an appearance
Happy Tuesday, my friends.
