Thankful Thursday

I'm having a hard time with this one today.  Life has handed me the kind of day you just want to give back, and try again for another.  But I have been imploring God all day yo help me be thankful.  And, at last, as bedtime fast approaches, I think I finally have the perspective I need.  So, here is this week's Thankful Thursday list...

I'm thankful for:

• hot showers
• leftovers
• early bedtimes for small children
• those who have served and continue to serve this great country, and their families
• the interconnectedness of ministry, and
• the ripples of one simple act of kindness
• the Grace to see beyond the anxiety of the moment
• peace

And, on that note, I'm more than ready for this day to be done.  And I look forward to tomorrow, a new begining.

Wishing you peace this evening.
