Father in Heaven, I am so greatful and thankful to you that even when I turned my back on you, you never turned you back on me. When I gave up and cried and thought everything was hopeless you helped me rise up on the wings of an eagle and strive forward. You saw my sins and my failures but yet you bore them all at the cross and paid the price with your life for me. Your blood was shed so that I can be free from my failures, my sin, my downfalls and my past mistakes. Thank you that I am on the path you want me to be on and you are shaping me and moulding me into the woman you want me to be. My heart and soul shall praise your sweet, precious, glorious name for eternity. In You name, Jesus I Pray, Amen.

    I am thankful that I have access to really healthy, locally produced food. Going to pick up my fresh "raw" milk, pastured meats and eggs, and locally grown fruits and vegetables this afternoon. :)

    I am thankful that my son was able to get a good deal on trading in an expensive piece of equipment at Guitar Center and buying a new piece of equipment at a discount so that he did not have to sell anything online. And thankful that we were able to complete some landscaping tasks last night that should help our neighbor's flooding issues before it rained today. God was gracious to stretch the hours in the day. One of those days that if I had known how much I would need to get done at the beginning of the day, I would have said "not possible". But with "His" help, I just kept putting one foot in front of the next and it all happened.

    Thankful that I have such a sweet, understanding cat. When I woke up in the middle of the night with some unexpected anxiety, she snuggled next to me and purred me through it. I was then able to drift back to sleep.

    I am thankful for special time with my family yesterday to celebrate Mother's Day. I enjoyed morning coffee today from the new Kitty Coffee Mug my sons gave me. :)

    I am thankful for a patient and loving Savior. I am thankful He led me here. See, the blog I posted on the main forum about giving this journey to God was closed because of the content. But several people saw it anyway. The thing is, I did not even mean to post it on the main board. I thought I was in my Nutrisystem group blog! LOL! But I know now it was for a reason! I have gotten several private messages thanking me for the post, as well as the invite to THIS group! :-)

    I am thankful that when I am weak, feeling I have no strength that God gives my strength. I'm thankful it rained today because it was too hot! I'm thankful for my neighbour who gave me olive oil and spoke to me as her younger sister. I'm thankful God is making a way for me. I'm thankful I'm alive and complete. I'm thankful for having such wonderful women on MFP as my friends.

    I am thankful for my sweet kitty cats. Precious understands me and is there for me no matter what. I should probably hold her and listen to her purr while talking with my eldest son later today. :o
