We have so much to be thankful for- yet often I focus on the negative…worries, things that aren’t going well, things that make me upset, things that are unfair, things that are not of eternal value. So, this year I am going to get better at focusing on the lavish blessings all around us and stop to give thanks…for salvation, for breath, for beauty, for provision (just to name a few)…
For circumstances, relationships, and trials that keep me on my knees; and keep me dependent on His strength, Word, and wisdom.
For the waiting, and trying to learn not to despise the journey but embrace it; and learning not to waver, but growing in grace; refined by hurt, grief, and discipline.
