Life is hard lately, so, to cheer myself up, I'm going to make a list of things that I'm thankful for:
1.) I'm thankful that God forgives me and loves me in spite of how ugly and wretched I truly am.
2.) I'm thankful for my husband, Blake. He inspires me to live and love bigger. His selfless love for me reminds me of Christ, and he truly does 'give himself up for me' on a daily basis. I do not deserve him, but I am so glad I have him anyway!
3.) I'm actually surprisingly thankful that I'm not pregnant yet. I'm really beginning to see the importance of God's timing and remembering that He is sovereign and ever so much wiser than me. I am thankful that God doesn't always give us exactly what we want, when we want it; instead, He gives us exactly what we need, exactly when we need it.
4.) I'm thankful for my family. They give me the comfort of knowing that there are actually people in this world who get me, who I don't have to explain so much to.
5.) I am thankful that I have a place to live, that I don't go hungry any day of the week, that I have lots of great clothes and shoes and makeup that make me look and feel good, and that I can take a shower anytime I want, and that I have a car to drive and my own cell phone and pretty much lack nothing. Gosh, I am so lucky.
6.) I am thankful that I am in Florida and it is warm in November and I never have to be cold again! Well you never know exactly, but I am glad that, for now, I'm very comfortable and not cold.
7.) I'm thankful that I have a bed to sleep on and a hot and sexy lover to go cuddle with.
So I think I will go cuddle... :)
