Being Thankful Today

I just wanted to stop by and share a few things I am thankful for today.

1. When the tunnel is the darkest, even a glimmer of light becomes a beacon of hope.

2. As long as there are new sunrises and new sunsets each day, there is always joy.

3. We have a storm coming out of the gulf of Alaska. Promises of wind, rain and snow make me happy. I hope the heat goes away and comes...next year.

4. I am thankful for friends who make me laugh, smile, think and tell me when I need to get out and quit with the pity parties.

5. I have eyes. I can see to read, sew, I can watch the seasons change.

6. I have ears. I can listen to music and hear birds sing and listen to the new bird calls of birds flying through.

7. Today is Thursday. I am so thankful today is Thursday. I like Thursdays.

 

 When I have moments of doubt or unbelief or even if I think I have sinned so much that God can't possibly forgive me one more time, I am only responding with my finite mind. But, my Father who is always there with these words, not in condemnation, but a voice filled with love, acceptance, all that I need to hear:
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither your ways my ways," declares the Lord. " As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts."
(Isaiah 33:8-9)

Then I realize,
It is enough.

" Lord, give me eyes
That I may see,
Lest I, as people will,
Should pass someone's Calvary
and think it just a hill."
