Happy Thankful Day

So I figured I should post now because I am going to try my best to
go to bed by 7pm, since I have to get up at 1am to get ready for work,
Yes I said 1am, I have to be at Kohls' (30 minutes away) at 2:45am.
In-stinkin-sane I know. But anyway I am thankful for my job,
I got a text from someone I've been ministering to at work,
a college kid who needed encouragement and he said he was
thankful for me, for caring and helping, it touched me, cause
to me it's just how I roll, I listen I help when I can and I
encourage, but it meant a lot to him and that feels good.
God has given me such vast opportunities to minister in my job ,
I will truly miss that, but I know I will have even more
in the future!
So Jen asked what people were thankful for in her blog
and this was my response, (forgive the copy and paste but I didn't
want to have to type again!
I am so very thankful for so many many things, I too had a very tough
childhood and very often I sit and say, Wow God I don't deserve all of
this, all these blessings and the perfect family, etc. I'm so grateful that
even when I've questioned the call or felt like giving up , God has held
me right there on the edge not letting me fall over. I'm thankful that
he has sustained the house we are living in and thankful that he has
something better for us. I thank God that he has given us the opportunity
to open a new chapter in our lives, with people we love more than they will
ever know. The people who , when we were going through our hardest stage
of ministry took the time to send us a card saying they believed in us, and
who would've that that the bond that begin there would end up here. I'm
so so thankful, for the opportunity he has given me to minister at my work
and to truely touch lives there, and now a greater opportunity in my job to
touch even more lives. I'm thankful most of all that no matter what the future
holds for us that we are in God's hands and nothing will change that!
