Today I am thankful.......
101.that God is still in control even when bad things happen... like I lose my keys in the trunk of the car as I unload the car and a moment later realize someone dented my car when I was inside the store.
Today I am thankful.......
100. when my son tells me just how intensely he wants to tell his friend about Jesus
94. that God shows me only one step of my path at a time... I am afraid if I could see the whole plan I would chicken-out.
95. that I don't need to know anything about the path ahead of me because I know the One who leads me down the path, and I know I can completely trust Him.
96. that there actually is always something to be thankful for... if I'm willing to look for it... even if all I can think of is "thank you God that it is not always like this"! (so far I have always come up with something, regardless of how dark my day may have been.)

92. for unexpected funds...... that seem to come when we most need them.
93. for allergic reactions that serve as a reminder to cherish every moment, for you never know whether it may be your last.
91. for a wonderful man... My♥Love is honest, godly, hardworking, loyal, he loves me passionately, takes care of our family, and reads the Bible to our boys every night.
90. that My♥Love still loves me even when I don't behave in a lovable way.

When confronted by your shortcomings there are two "normal" responses
1) oppositional
2) anxious
...a proper response would be to try to find balance in your life
...to seek to become more Christ-centered
...to understand your position in Him
...basically to gain perspective of how God sees you so you can view the situation from a better vantage point than where you are.
