I am Thankful

~my husband enjoys baking with me. I love it! Things get made twice as fast. This year I am doing extra Christmas baking so this is a real blessing. Not to mention that we get to spend the time together.

~I have a few REALLY great friends. They know some secrets about me. They also know lots of silly and unimportant things about me like I love cooking but hate cleaning or that I just have to drink my coffee in which ever mug is my favorite at that moment, because it just is so much more enjoyable that way. I am blessed to know some of their secrets (as well as some silly things) and I am thankful. Surface relationships are ok, but real, true and deep relationships are the best!

~I have been laughing more and find myself smiling for no apparent reason. I like being happy. Having just come out of a "season" of much heaviness and feeling so very sober, day in and day out, this new season is such a breath of fresh air and came-just in time! I am breathing deeply. I am thankful for this season of joy.

~A new friend recently blessed me with a whole new wardrobe. Some of the things still have the price tags on and had not even been worn! Almost everything fit perfectly. Honestly, I have not ever had so many clothes and they have never been this nice. This friend has great taste and because she is a hair stylist all her clothes are trendy and classy. I am so thankful that she was so generous to me. I feel lavished on!

~ God is always relevant. I love my God and am so thankful that He is always the answer. In a sometimes very sad and dark world, I am glad that I can let my light shine. And share His hope...
