Thanksgiving

Update: The interview was rescheduled for Friday morning, due to the bad weather today. I am extremely thankful that we shut the office early so that I could get home before another round of storms makes it way through town. Stay safe, everyone!

Last night was my last night of teaching 4 year-olds at church for the quarter. For the most part I enjoyed our kids this quarter, but I'm looking forward to returning to the land of adults, where perhaps the whining, shoving and trips to the bathroom will be kept to a minimum.

Since our final lesson was about thankfulness, I thought I'd share some things that I am especially thankful for this week (in addition to being thankful for having survived a quarter of teaching 4 year-olds):

-I'm thankful for my mom's help in teaching this quarter. I couldn't have done it (and kept my sanity intact) without her!

-I'm thankful that I stayed awake (and, for the most part, quite coherent) during yesterday's early morning interview. Better yet, we really liked the person we interviewed, so it was definitely worth getting up early for! And I'm thankful that we have another interview today, so perhaps we'll be able to hire someone very SOON!

-I'm thankful for getting notes and emails of encouragement from friends this week.

-I'm thankful that I've had opportunities to pray for friends this week.

-I'm thankful for the pound I've lost over the past week.

-I'm thankful for no bills in yesterday's mail.

-I'm thankful for the opportunity to listen to some really powerful radio messages and podcasts this week.

-I'm thankful for getting a really good parking space at work.

-I'm thankful for having lots of opportunities to laugh this week, especially at work.

-I'm thankful that I could literally spend all day and night writing out every blessing God's given me, and still not scratch the surface. I am truly blessed and humbled by all that He has done and is doing in my life!

May you have a blessed day guided by a thankful heart!
