Thankful

Ever since I started this blog, Thankful Thursdays have been a regular post.  It forces me to take the time to really look at my life and find those things to be grateful for.  It is so easy to get bogged down, overwhelmed.  Thankful Thursday gives me the opportunity to shift my focus from the negative to the One who makes it all possible.


This Thursday, I am so thankful for:

• the changing Colorado fall colors. 

• precious time for little cousins this weekend

• that God sent a dear friend to visit me at my office yesterday.  I know she had no idea I was having a very lonely morning (I had told no one).  And she showed up for a very random errand.  But, God and I know that He sent her because He knew how much I needed to see her and get a hug from her.

• for my husband's birthday, and a quiet, sweet celebration with his princesses.

• that God is speaking to my heart through His word daily about the journey He is taking me on. 

1 Peter 1:7 (MSG) 
Pure gold put in the fire comes out of it proved pure; genuine faith put through this suffering comes out proved genuine. When Jesus wraps this all up, it's your faith, not your gold, that God will have on display as evidence of his victory.

• that there will be victory in this journey!

• that I am safe in His arms!
