A sister in Christ once posted "What would happen if you woke up with only the things you thanked God for yesterday?" This has been a big conviction on my heart lately, and especially during the holiday season. Truth be told, usually I am so tired that I've been waiting until last minute to spend time with Jesus, let alone pray and thank Him. But God has been working wonders on my heart and is helping me realize how much I have to be grateful about.
For example:
Jesus, for His agape sacrifice and the ways He's blessed me.
My mom and dad, for the direction they've had on my life and the love that they've always poured out to me as I go deeper in my years.
My brother Darin, for the awesome experiences he's allowed me to live.
Jayden, for always teaching me never to give up.
Avonlea, for the joy she has given me and the light she is to everybody around her. Her smile seems to fill a room!
Keely, for being able to have her as my roommate and have awkward and fun times together.
Coby, for the laughter we share daily.
My best friends for always staying by my side and telling me when they think I'm making the wrong choice
Our little house to experience fellowship together
My puppies that always seem to get in trouble
The ability to type and have a blog, with Internet, and share my opinions openly
Freedom to worship Jesus unabandondely
For the CHRISTmas season to fall even more with Jesus
For the ability to smile and all my body functions to work correctly
To be able to have an education
To have amazing teachers
....and SO many more! Enlarge my heart Lord and allow me to see the blessings before me.
