Thirty Days of Thanks Wrap Up

Well I missed the whole last week of November, but that's o.k., cause that is where grace comes in. So to wrap it all up, I am thankful for every breath I take, every moment that I am alive and able to be around the ones I love so dearly. I am thankful for life itself and how precious it is.

Day 12 - God's mercy. I spoke on an earlier day about God's justice. Today I am thankful for God's mercy, that He doesn't always give us what we deserve. He is patient and long-suffering. I am forever thankful for that. Recently we saw God's justice in a situation, I totally believe that God was showing mercy for a long time in hopes that there would be true repentance.

Day 13 - I am thankful that my mom taught me to crochet. I know it may sound silly, but crocheting is something that brings me great enjoyment. I love to create things. I love the fact that I can bless people with things I make and also make a little bit of money to help our home.

Day 14 - For my health, though I do have many difficulties physically, I am still thankful for what I have. Please remember to pray for all of those that are fighting for their lives because of cancer. I know so many right now. My prayers are with them: Rebekah, Christopher, Monica, Donita, and Aaron.
