Day 21 of Giving Thanks

As you may have noticed, I’ve given up on the idea of posting a “giving thanks” entry everyday for the month of November. I’d rather give thanks all year long and not just November anyway. I have had a couple of set backs recently…but nothing I cannot overcome. I have God on my side and I have faith that everything will be ok. I’m stronger because of my faith and today I am thankful for that.

Day 14 of Giving Thanks

Today I am thankful for my dad. I mention him a lot when I write and that’s because he really is the one person on this planet who knows me and loves me unconditionally. He would do anything for me as I would for him. I wish his health was better but I admire him for keeping positive regardless.

Day 13 of Giving Thanks

I am not going to lie, today has been “one of those days.” Luckily I have faith that things are going to be okay, no matter what. My job situation is bleak. I have a family member who needs prayers…he has a very serious medical issue right now. Things aren’t great at the moment. But I know that God has a plan. He gives me strength. He will take care of everything in His way in His time. Today I am thankful I have God on my side.

Day 12 of Giving Thanks

Today was my day off from work. I met an old co-worker for lunch who I hadn’t seen for a very long time. It was great to see him and to catch up. Afterwards I helped AL tackle painting a bedroom in her house. Her mom helped and we had fun painting, talking and laughing. I have so many fond memories of being at their house when I was a kid…it was like my second home for several years.

I read a quote today that said it is a fact that if you are friends with someone for longer than 7 years that you will most likely be friends for life. I do believe that. My 3 best friends have been in my life since I was very young. Friends that stick around that long are more like family. I’m thankful today for lifetime friendships 🙂
