As many as the stars of the heaven...

Today, in small group, I was thinking about my high for the week and came to the realization that my high is that I have much to be thankful. Indeed, as many as the stars of the heaven or the sand of the sea, God has blessed me abundantly. I am thankful especially for the hard things - for by being thankful, I am entrusting it to God and learning from Him. With this in mind, I am thankful specifically

• for a great talk with a friend/mentor today where we both got to think out loud together and share lessons we have learned
• for girls' group
• that one of the younger girls came to girls' group
• for the long drive to and from Wilmore
• for new beginnings
• for endings
• for loneliness
• for communion and fellowship with others
• for the Eucharist
• that I can pray to the saints
• for quiet days filled with books and good conversations
• for long, hot baths
• for beauty
• for good articles and readings
• for homework
• that I am not alone
• that I make mistakes and learn from them

To God be the glory! May we be aware of His work in us and around us and give thanks to Him!
