Thankful Thursday: December 4, 2008

• Thank you, Lord, for choos­ing me as one of your own. I can­not imag­ine how my life would be if I was not your daugh­ter. You have been my father since my earthly father abdi­cated his posi­tion. I will never for­get the per­son I was before you saved me. You are wor­thy of all honor and praise for this ALONE.
• Thank you, Lord, for my son. I didn’t make the right choice. I got preg­nant out of wed­lock. But you, who works every­thing out for my good, gave me the light of my life, and you you con­tin­u­ally use him to mold me into the woman you want me to be. You show me your pro­vi­sion EVERY day in how you enable me to take care of him. When I wake up in the morn­ing and hear him singing your praises, or lis­ten to him talk about you, I’m reminded of how sim­ple the Gospel really is.
• Thank you, Lord, for my mother. She is my best friend and my biggest fan. She also speaks the truth in love when I need it, whether I want to hear it or not. She’s a great grand­mother, and my son adores her. I know she always has my back.
• Thank you, Lord, for steady employ­ment. I lost a job with good pay and excel­lent ben­e­fits in 2006. After work­ing for my son’s day­care for a year, I needed to find some­thing that paid bet­ter. I went to a temp agency (should be your first stop if you ever need work) and they sent me to a non-profit orga­ni­za­tion in the sum­mer of 2007. In March of 2008, I was hired full time. The money is bet­ter than I was mak­ing last year, the ben­e­fits are great, the atmos­phere is stress-free…AND it’s a 10 minute bus ride from home. NO MORE COMMUTING DOWNTOWN!
• Thank you, Lord, for answered prayer. In the past year, I’ve prayed for my fam­ily, my church, my job, my spir­i­tual growth, and I’ve seen your hand in all of these things. It’s amaz­ing that you even incline your ear toward me!
