Last week I was really sick for a few days, and didn't even think about the fact that it was Thursday and time for my thankful post, but I'm feeling much better now, and one of the things I am very thankful for is the way God has designed our bodies to heal and become healthy and strong after experiencing sickness.
I had some interaction with a customer the other day. When I greeted him, he said, "You always come with a smile." I responded, "I have so much to be thankful for, why wouldn't I be smiling?" That's the attitude I want to carry with me every day. Not just on Thursdays.
But since it is Thursday, I'm thankful for:
good friends
the hope we have in Jesus
Skype and Facetime
God's word
a warm and dry house
music
my family
opportunities to serve
the fruit of the Spirit
struggles that produce growth
JESUS, rescuer of sinners
Grace
