Just thought a few of you might need a reminder of the SIMPLE things in life...Not JUST because this week is Thanksgiving...but because our thankfulness should be overflowing...always...in the midst of life...in the midst of pain...in the midst of heartache...in the midst of joy and blessing. Thankfulness is always due...to the ONE who gives us each day...a day that is NEVER guaranteed to us.
Today I am thankful for........
The breath I breathe
This day I got to spend loving on people
My parents who have unconditionally loved me...
My brother Justin...for teaching me what REAL LOVE is...
My brother Seth...for showing me just how beautiful music can be...
My friends who change the world -for good- everyday
Music..written, sung, heard, and music that heals...
The cool weather...
Lake Jackson....Dallas....Sydney...San Marcos...San Angelo...and soon...New York
God's grace every Sunday morning....Lord knows I need it.
God's grace every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday
The children I see everyday
The amazing leaders I get to work with
The people who have spoken into my life up until this point in my life
The gym...on most days =)
The mistakes I've made....I wouldn't have learned without them.
My broken heart moments..
The long-never-ending-laughs that make me cry...
The movies that inspire me to do something with my life...
The jobs that have kicked my butt...
Football season...
Baseball season...
Dogs...Man's best friend...FOR REAL...(Scooter was the best dog ever)
Lonely days...cause it left just me and Jesus...
Rain after a bad day...
Sunshine and waves...
Not being able to understand how/when/why waves move...I love that they are so much bigger than me...
Entertaining angels...I'm sure it has happened.
Sleepless nights...
BIG DREAMS...Too many to keep up with...
The things that scare me...(the good things that scare me)...
The things that challenge me...
The things that require FAITH...BIG faith...
A car to drive...
Food to eat...
Clothing to wear...
A good harmony between a male and female voice...
