Today... I'm thankful for LIFE. Sure, it's hard sometimes. And sometimes it's loud and people get on your nerves. Sometimes your expectations aren't met. Sometimes your focus wanders to things that aren't important and have no eternal value and you end up at the feet of the cross asking for forgiveness. Sometimes what you've had planned and thought for sure you'd be doing, doesn't ever happen. Sometimes, God says no. Even when you'd been thinking it was a "for sure". But you know what? Every time He's told me no, it's because His plan is way better than my thoughtless plan could have ever been. And even after my selfish heart asks Him "Why? Now what?", He still comes to comfort me. He covers me in His love, shows more mercy and grace than I could have ever imagined. He is Constant. He is Faithful. And NOTHING can satisfy the longings of your heart like He can! So today, I'm thankful for the blessings in disguise. The "unknowns" of what I thought I had already figured out last year. And I'm thankful for a slower day at work to put my thoughts into words. As senseless as they may sound. ;) I'm thankful for His Living Word. I'm thankful for cute nieces and nephews. I'm thankful for the country life! I'm thankful for quiet time with Him. I'm thankful for the adorable kids in my church. I'm thankful for the little things He gives me that make me feel special and loved. I'm thankful that He knows me through and through. I'm thankful for younger brothers that play practical jokes on friends. ;)

Do you see the "heart cloud"?? Yes, you guys, Jesus loves me! This I know!!
I really do have a wonderful life! Sometimes I take things for granted and my heart isn't always grateful. But He always calls me back, shows me that HE IS GOOD and I can claim His Truths in my life and be filled with HIS JOY.
Today.....
I am Thankful.
Life is good because HE is good.
