Another fresh day, and I am so focused on how much there is to be thankful for. It is still a sad sad time for our friend in another state as she experienced her husband’s choice to end his life. How much my heart aches for her and their children and extended family. Once again it teaches me how very precious life is and how masks are often simply that…covers for what is truly happening in one’s heart.
Today is a Mom day, and I am so excited to be working at home and enjoying my children. It seems the summer has gone simply away as its almost time for school to start again. It seems I turn around and our children are grown!
My weight loss is still happening. I am now ready to begin exercising too to help tone and change what is definately needing toning! I have for so long avoided working out, I am simply ignorant of what to do!!!
God is God and I am still ever amazed at all He is doing in my life. What a hard, yet joyful time it has been to know I can count on Him each part of the day!
Things I am thankful for today:
1. The Father in heaven who thinks I am enough, just as I am, imperfections and all.
2. The ability to forgive and be forgiven of my mistakes and others’ mistakes.
3. Waking up healthy, able, and in a country that allows me to think my own thoughts out loud.
4. For friends who notice when I am under water and need loving on.
5. For business alliances who are truly friends as well. (Jenn Fowler, Karen Rabbitt, Thelma Wells Alli Worthington)
6. For opportunities to work with great people, ministeries, and personalities.
7. For Rachel Anne Ridge’s Home Sanctuary, for I need all the small steps I can find!
8. For children to love and who love me, for extended family.
9. For learning and the ability to learn new things.
10. For beauty that our Father in heaven has made for us, through us, and with us.
