I read somewhere that the happiest people are the people who know how to be grateful and appreciative of all the small things they have. I believe this as when I started to focus on what I had, instead of what I didn't, it really lifted my spirits.
THANKFUL
1. I am thankful for Archie. As I sat on the couch working on my blog this morning, Archie used his nose to life up my arm and worm his way into my lap. He hasn't moved from his position there, even though I doubt it's that comfortable
2. I am thankful for healing. This morning I woke up and my headache/migraine is so much better than it has been. It's still there but it's not debilitating anymore. 3 days of that pain was much more than I was able to bear. I am a baby when it comes to pain.
3. I am thankful for order. For the past 3 days I was feeling too rotten to do anything. Consequently my surroundings started to get messy and disorganized. Thankfully Katrina and my hubby worked hard at tidying up the place. It's so much less stressful to have a tidy environment.
BIBLE VERSE:
This morning I was reading through Deuteronomy 31:6.

Be strong and courageous.
Do not fear or be in dread of them,
for it is the Lord, your God, who goes with you.
He will not leave you or forsake you.
Do not fear or be in dread of them,
for it is the Lord, your God, who goes with you.
He will not leave you or forsake you.
This spoke to me this morning because it reminded me that God can free me of any anxieties, fear, and dread I have. I don't need to ever be burdened with fear. With God, I can be strong and courageous. And then that ever present reminder - He will never leave you or forsake you. Thank you Jesus.
