If we're friends on FB, you already know that I'm fuming over here about a doctor's appointment I had in May. There are 2 other prominent issues wrapping themselves around my heart like barbed wire at the moment. And the last thing I need is to focus on 5 other things that bug me. I may address them later, but for now, I need to redirect my heart and mind. I need to find a safe, soft place to sit while I delicately try to disentangle the barbs; while I'm open with the Lord about how heavy my burden feels right now. Gratefulness won't remove it, but it might tie a few lime green and orange balloons to it and lighten the load.
The ABC'S of Thanks - Inspired by Finding Joy
A - Autumn, as warm as this year's has been.
B - Boy clothes, toys, sounds, hands, love...my baby boy.
C - Christ's mercy and love for me...good golly.
D - Dairy, the place I belong, learned life-lessons, ran barefoot; where my heart will always call home.
E - Eric.
F - Faces. Familiar, silly, furry, messy. All of them.
G - Girlfriends. There are a few of them out there who continue to help shape my world.
H - Heat. Whether it's the weather outside or the air blowing in through the vents.
I - Instant gratification. So good.
J - Joy. Being able to feel it.
K - Kiwi Loco. (Frozen yogurt.) 'Cause I can't have ice cream.
L - Laughter. It's my favorite.
