This has been quite a year ... lots of challenges, some really joyful times, many really painful moments. But today, I know how blessed I am, and I'm filled with gratitude.
I'm thankful for ...
... grace
... Russ and a healthy marriage in a society where "'til death us do part" has morphed into "while love lasts"
... waking up knowing that "His mercies are new every morning"
... family so far away in body but close in heart
... dear friends who pray for me and love me in spite of myself
... my bed (!)
... my dogs with their unconditional love
... a great job at a Christian company
... dark chocolate (!!)
... dark times that draw me closer to God
... a church home where I can serve God and others
... a ministry about which I'm passionate
... gluten- and lactose-free products that actually taste good (!!!)
So many blessings. So many reasons to give thanks.
May your Thanksgiving be one of blessing, love, and gratitude.
