Countdown to Thanksgiving #7


Today was an eye opening day for me and I have to share how thankful I am for it!! I had been having a really hard time feeling very thankful for anything...I was tired, felt a bit shaky, (but my blood sugar was fine) and I looked around at the living room...needing vacuuming, dusting, etc...the kitchen floor needed mopping, I had a roast to put in the oven...none of these things should have been overwhelming but I was definitely overwhelmed..I sat in my recliner, feeling sorry for myself...
I came across the above picture and quote...and it hit me!! I needed to do exactly what it said...because I knew I wasn't doing it on my own..a text off to a dear adopted daughter for prayer and I started praying too and thankfully my day turned around!! I still have a long way to go as far as my health goes but it was such an awesome day that I just have to thank the Lord over and over for taking my can't and turning it into something HE can!!

I know I am not one of your adopted daughters and that we do not get to keep in touch as much but I want you to know that you are in my prayers every morning and every night for sure and sometimes when you come to mind. I love you and know you will get through this with flying colors! Also who cares if your house needs cleaning, your heart is shining brightly!

It is a beautiful quote. So hard for me to do this sometimes but things work out so much better when I do.
