What am I thankful for this week?
1.Vacation. I am having an awesome time: relaxing and not worrying about a thing! We are far away from the world and it feels great. I feel like I'm in the movie, "Why Did I Get Married" minus the husband and the drama. It's just us ladies in a beautiful house with a gorgeous landscape.
2.Memories. I grabbed my camera to download my pics from my media card to my laptop and saw all kinds of things. There were videos on there, pictures of me and friends from 2 years ago, pictures of family.... It was nice to look back and see how far I've come and to think about the things that God has brought me through. It was bitter sweet.
3.Blessings. I'm thankful that God gives us blessings freely, regardless of if we deserve them or not. We can not work to receive His grace, blessings, forgiveness, or mercy. It's all a gift. We don't deserve it, but our Father graciously blesses us everyday.
4.Good People. I'm smiling right now, listening to the wonderful women around me tell stories and laugh. It's refreshing. The women here range in age from 50 down to 27. It's nice to sit back and listen to stories and experiences of everyone. We learn from listening to others. Sometimes its nice to sit back and just listen.
All in all, I've had a really good day. :) Now tell me, what are you thankful for?

Hahahaha. @ I feel like I'm in the movie, "Why Did I Get Married" minus the husband and the drama.
That's whats up.
I'm thankful for something you touched upon - although I am not worthy and non-deserving, I feel like blessings are bestowed upon myself, even when others want me to believe otherwise.

Keep shining, keep smiling.
Did you go on a retreat or something? Sounds good. So I don't guess there was a Sheriff Troy or anything huh?
Hmmm things I'm thankful for..I'll get back to you on that. But I too went through pictures on my pc that brought back all types of fun memories. Pictures and videos of my daddy just a whirlwind of emotions.
Well glad you enjoyed yourself.
Go
Sounds so fun. I am happy for you. I am thankful for a new job and looking forward to God's promises.
Look up at the stars without a worry in your mind!!
Be blessed.
I'm thankful for just being here. Here, as in fully present in what I am doing and the lives God is touching through my hands, words, heart, presence.
