Thankful Thursday

1. I am so thankful for the amazing fall weather this week. As I posted last week, it was snowing and I thought winter was here. Nope! It reached 70 once this week and has been in the mid 60's for the rest of it! Oh, how I love warm weather and I am thankful for this one last glimpse of it before things change for a while!

2. I am thankful that my cell phone is still usable after falling into the toilet. Now don't think I was texting or talking on it while I was using the bathroom facilities, rather it was in my pocket and I was helping a lil one get the training seat onto the toilet. I watched it plop and settle. Thankfully, it was just flushed after another lil one used it, so I reached right in and grabbed a paper towel to dry it off. Unfortunately, some buttons aren't quite right and it IS about time I get a new one...so I'm going to look and maybe buy another one soon.

3. I am thankful that God has been working in me. My doubts and concerns that I wrote about here have become mostly silent. He is teaching me to truly trust Him and His Word, to have patience, and to know that He IS directing my path, no matter how confusing it all seems to me. He's teaching me that it's okay to use discernment, but to grasp and hold onto the truth that I do hear. I'm so thankful God is working in me!

4. I am thankful that my car's headlights went out when they did, that I noticed it when I did, that it didn't cost me a lot to replace them, and that James knew how to install the new ones. I didn't hit a deer.
I didn't get a ticket.
I didn't brake the bank.
and
I didn't have to pay someone an insanely high installation fee.

and on this Thankful Thursday

5. I am very thankful for my job. I've said it before and I'll say it again. God dropped the best thing into my lap! It is so perfect for me! The hours aren't bad, the pay is just about right, and environment is encouraging. To top all that off, the kids are usually really good! I know my patience could be tested way more than it ever really is. I just love it and I'm so thankful to be working there!
