Thankful thoughts:
- A puppy who seems to sense that I need her calm. She is rarely so in the morning, and right now is just sleeping by my feet. Love it.
- Coffee - still tasting good! But the caffeine works with the steroids so I have to cut down how much I sip. I can do that. :)
- A sister who is knowledgeable and available.
- Sweet hugs and TLC from Megan and Kristen when I got home. The guys too.
- A good morning so far...I know I will be wiped out later. Time to get a few things done!
- The wisdom of Scritpture - always offers comfort and encouragement.
PSALM 37:23-24
"The steps of the Godly are directed by the Lord. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will not fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand."
This verse is from an excerpt in a book I'm reading by a woman who had journeyed through breast cancer. One of the things she learned through her journey was God's attention to detail, even in her mundane life. It reminded me of a silly thing Megan does that shows SHE is already aware of His ever-present self in her day to day. Whenever Megan finds a REALLY good parking spot, especially if it's raining, she sings, "Jesus Loves Me" while pulling in! So dear - and no, she doesn't think He 'hates' her if her spot is lousy! Just a way of recognizing and being thankful for little things.
On that note, be looking for little things in your day where you can say thank you! It's life-changing! And so good for me through these circumstances. Wen we have an attitude of gratitude and not entitlement, there is a softness toward His Holy Spirit that is so much healthier.
Love to you.
