Thankful Thursday -- Mixed Up Week

I had many plans for the week. It was going to be super productive and efficient. God apparently had different plans! It's really so much simpler to just listen to God, than to try and argue with Him! LOL!

So here's my list for this week:

1. I am thankful for my dishwasher. What a blessing to get up in the morning and open the door to find clean dishes! The dish fairy washed them while I slept!

2. I am thankful for my ds. He's been sick this week with an upper respiratory infection. I am NOT thankful for that, but I am thankful for who he is and the joy he brings to my life. 

3. I am thankful for a new and improved attitude that is helping me learn to truly cut myself some slack. I haven't felt well this week -- female troubles -- but I've been kinder and less judgmental of myself, which has made feeling bad not quite so bad.

4. I am thankful for the cloudy, cool morning. Maybe some rain later today, which will increase the feeling of change in the air. Autumn is one of my favorite times of the year, and I am ready to feel the cool, crisp morning air and smell the falling leaves as the world gets ready to sleep through the winter months.

5. Finally I am thankful for my increased Bible study. I am grateful for the desire that God has placed in my heart to do these studies, and I am mesmerized at how they are interweaving with one another! For both the Precepts and Beth Moore studies I have spent a lot of time in Genesis rereading the stories of Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham, and Moses. What a blessing to see these great men and women through new eyes.

I hope your day is filled with gratitude and blessings.
