A Time to be Thankful

Tonight I was sitting with one of my new friends in a coffee shop on campus, and she challenged me and our other friend to fill up a note card with all the things we were thankful for. It really got me thinking. I don't stop enough to focus on all the blessings God has already poured out before I ask for more. But He is a good God and there is always something to be thankful for in His arms.

God, thank you for

Love

Rescuing me

Crying so hard I laugh
