There are so many things for which to be grateful...
1. Jesus~Not only Jesus, but His love for me. He could have left me in my sin and shame, but He saw more in me than anyone ever could. He died for me•He gave His life so I could live.That’s love. 💕
2. John~He loves me 🌸 I’ve disappointed and let him down time and time again, but he never gives up on me. ♥️
3. My family~All of them. Those before and those behind.
4. My home~I walk in here everyday and still feel like I’m dreaming. I’m not Alice in Wonderland, but I kinda feel like I’m falling. There are things that are different and things that are not. This is a picture of The Shop and House-the shouse is the small door and two windows on the left.
5. My job~teaching. I’d like to say it’s my passion. I can’t. I’m thankful because it helps pay my bills and provides much needed insurance, but my passion is no longer in teaching. I love the kids. I love trying to expand their point-of-view; I’m just out of ideas. I have lost the ability to help them connect. Maybe I am no longer connected myself. I sound ungrateful, for this I apologize.
6. The Bible~I think everyday about how God spoke to us. How He could have left us to our own devices, but He gave us step by step instructions from the beginning of time to the end of time as well as our own personal tour guide, the Holy Spirit (can I get an Amen?!?).
Thanksgiving is next Thursday. One week from today. I have so much more to be thankful for, but those 6 things are all I’m listing today.
Praise God for life, love, and peace.
