thankful | are you?
i so often overlook what it means to be thankful. november is a good time to spend reflecting on this. i’m happy that God loves me enough to give me gentle nudges and reminders. in spite of all that is chaotic in this world, i believe that if we are present in the moment this “thankful awareness” will surround us.
* i’m thankful for a wife that loves me enough to get past some of the not so smart things i do that can make her life crazy.
* i’m thankful for three amazing kids that exude love.
* i’m thankful for a God that is in control, even when i think he is not.
* i’m thankful for the sun today and the rains that will come tomorrow.
* i’m thankful for the forgiveness found in Christ and that i have a lifetime to understand it.
* i’m thankful that God has shown me that i’ve grown by how i respond to criticism.
* i’m thankful i can jam my hands in the dirt and feel the earth… and that i can play a part in helping something grow in it.
* i’m thankful that we have an amazing family.
* i’m thankful for the crazy way that God wired my brain. it is helpful to some. :)
* i’m thankful for a mom and dad that i know love me and my family.
* i’m thankful that life CAN be lived in the present, and pray i’d learn to stay there.
