Grateful for. . .

Ok, so the lack of a laptop sort of threw me for a loop the past week. . . In order to "catch up" on my grateful for posts, I am going to do a ten item list (in no order). :o) Here it goes. . .

1. Tonight I am really grateful that I have a savior who loves me enough when I fall so short. I went to see FIREPROOF again today. I love the scene where Caleb comes to know that being a good person has nothing to do with it. . . Many days I don't feel anything I do is "good enough," yet I know that it is only through GRACE I am saved!I am so glad God can love a very imperfect me!

2. I am grateful that I have Shelton and Molly in my life. They are the greatest doggies! Shelton will turn 4 on November 22!!

3. I am grateful for my friend, Eugenia. She is an amazing mom, wife, daughter, and sister in Christ! Thanks, Eugenia, for letting me talk at weird hours of the day/night, for listening and offering advice, for praying with me, and for always "having my back!" :o) LOL

4. I am grateful that God has given me a home that I can share with others.

5. I am grateful for my sister. She is an amazing person!! She has helped me so much this past year! God gave me a wonderful sibling, but even more of a friend. I had the pleasure of going to FIREPROOF with her today. :o)

6. I am grateful that I have a job. So many people are out of work, facing pay cuts, hungry, and/or loosing their homes. God is walking this journey with America.

7. I am grateful for my college friends, Erica and Jessica. We were blessed to meet in nursing school and have remained friends ever since.

8. I am grateful for Julie and Eric Maas, friends who are missionaries in Belize.

9. I am grateful for having my car back since the accident even if it still has its issues. I will be happy to have a car to drive.

10. I am grateful for being friends with Carrie from CHS. She has become one of my close friends. We enjoyed a great time at the beach (even if I was back and forth due to Eugenia's mom). I can't wait to craft again with her very soon!!

Ok, I should be able to do a daily post from now until the end of the month. :0) What are you grateful for?? :o)

Great list, and you are really reminding me to be mindful of the things I should be thankful for EVERY day, not just at Thanksgiving time.

Right now I am so thankful that my Lord doesn't give up on me. Even when I fall WAY short.
