And I'm Grateful For . . . 4/10/11

After a tough & frustrating week, there is still much to be thankful for ...

I'm grateful for ... all the many small blessings God shares with me that I'm not even aware of.

I'm grateful for ... the people God has put into my life; from closest of friends to those who simply pass through never to be seen again.

I'm grateful for ... challenges that the Good Lord places in front of me that become opportunities not only for me but to do His work.

I'm grateful for ... my health.  In spite of, or because of, the problems I have with my bones and joints and the discomfort & pain they cause; I recognize that my overall health in general is especially good.

I'm grateful for ... my usually optimistic attitude and sense of humor.  These are a gift God has given me to deal with the tough times.

And, as always, I'm grateful for the small four-footed family I've been graced with, including the little tornado that I brought home to foster but who has become Katie's newest best friend.
