Okay, I realize that I'm a dramatic soul who possibly reacts too strongly to stress. I thought I would follow my whine with a "Thankful Thursday" moment.
1) I'm thankful for live mariachi bands playing at the wal-mart. Sweet!
2) I'm thankful for boot wielding firemen who were collecting money for charity at the stop lights.
3) I'm thankful for a son who says in a very cool way "Let's Roll." when it's time to get out of the car at the grocery store.
4) I'm grateful for the abundance of chihuahuas that exists in Lubbock and how adorable they all are- especially mine.
5) I'm thankful for the comforter that guides us and helps us feel at peace when things seem to be going wrong.
6) I'm thankful for prayer and quick answers to prayer.
7) I'm thankful to have a worthy priesthood holder in my home who can deal with the drama.
8) I'm thankful for blogs and people who show support to me when I'm being a whiner.
9) I'm thankful for a return to good health and all of the abilities that I have.
10) I'm thankful for the scriptures that guide and comfort us when we need it.
It takes strenght to count your blessings in rough times, but it really does help, doesn't it? Don't feel bad about 'whining'. We all need to vent sometimes.
ReplyDeleteWe're thankful you're coming next month--we can't wait! Plus my neighbors (excepting the dogs, cows, and horses) are all pretty well behaved ;)>
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the sun came out and made the blessings in your life shine! Funny how they can be forgotten so easily. :( But it's even funnier how the Lord can help us push the storm clouds away, so we can see clearly again what a beautiful life we really have and help us remember we should enjoy it.
