I am thankful for:
Sunday -
- the privilege to sit under the teaching of men who not only know God's laws but live them
- worshipping without fear when so many of our Christian brothers and sisters in the world must hide and worship in secret
- the wonder of having God's very own Word in my hands for my very own--and in several translations--when much of the world is happy to have a portion of it to share with many others
- that God loves me, not because I am worthy of it, but because He is
- time to relax and recharge for the new week, spend time with family, and just "being"
- grace for a new week
- strength to get through a busy day
- a phone call from a friend just to see if I was having a good day
- a hubby who extends mercy when he finds out (on the way home from work) that his wife forgot to put the planned turkey tenderloin in the Crock-Pot
- that there is a Wendy's on the way home from work
- an evening of relaxation
- that I made it through the day without cheating on my vow of fasting from white sugar--and I had made cookies over the weekend!
- a very good night's rest and waking refreshed
- a calm day (relatively)
- made it through Day 2 of "The Sugar Fast", although I did have a small slice of pumpkin bread that Sharon Huber made for the office. I think I convinced myself that she had sweetened it with organic honey.
- I did resist the glazed donut offered by a student (although I did take it--it was in celebration of getting a good grade on her spelling test--I gave it to Ryan after lunch)
- that I did remember to put the turkey in the Crock-Pot this morning and we were rewarded with a delicious dinner tonight
- that I work with such a wonderful group of people--an example of the body of Christ working together to do His will
- that I look forward to a day off tomorrow--and a day with some of the grans!
