This week, I'm thankful for provision and being able to learn from mistakes. As I registered for my classes after taking the summer off, I learned that I had forgotten to do something rather important with regards to my schooling (How did I miss filing a new FAFSA?). As a result, my financial aid is on hold. I was so very disappointed. BUT, praise God, I had the money to pay for the class. I didn't want to use that money for school, but I'm grateful that I had it to use. I'm thankful I didn't have to wait one more semester to go back to school. Leaned a lesson. Grateful that I had it to pay. Praises be to God!
I'm also thankful for creative ideas. Last night, as I was in our church's prayer service, God showed me some things that I can do with my teens to enhance our ministry. These last few weeks, I'd been kind of concerned about them, and God showed me something simple to do to be a blessing to them. Thank You, Lord, for Your inspiration!
Finally, I'm thankful for mature people who can sit down and - even though the sides may not agree - have a fruitful conversation. I was a part of a couple of these talks this week. One was regarding the whole Chick-fil-A thing, another was concerning a relationship, and another was regarding faith. All of them were conversations where I learned from who I was talking to, was able to show respect for their opinion, and was able to properly voice mine. I may not have agreed with all of what was said, but I was happy to have a positive engagement. Thanks God, for opening me up to some positive learning experiences.
What are you thankful for today? How has the Lord brightened up your days this week? Take some time to give God some glory!
Verse of the Day: Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation. Psalm 111:1
