Thankful Friday

I forgot thankful Thursday yesterday. :-( But I can be thankful today, as well.

God is very good to me. He's given me a wonderful family who care about me. He's given me wonderful and encouraging friends. I'm very blessed. I don't deserve one bit of it. And that makes me grateful. If I felt I deserved all this, I think I would be less grateful and more whiny. God loves me. I don't deserve it. And because of that, I am beyond grateful for Him.

I am grateful for the life I've been given so far. Twenty years. Much of it I can look back on and regret. But because of Christ's forgiveness instead I look forward with hope on the rest of the years the Lord gives me on this earth.
