Thankful Thursday: For things Underappreciated

We take a whole lot of things for granted, you know? It might be cliche, but we get so used to waking up every morning that we stop being thankful for it, and even venture to groan at the necessity of it, waking up on a cold winter morning tests you, no lie.

Thats just one example thought. For three weeks i sat tight and was more nervous than i've ever been in my life. I negotiated with God, promises were made, i cursed myself for all the times i complained about what i now did not seem to have. I had horror filled visions of my future, cursed myself for being so stupid, was stunned at how this had become me. I was on the path to becoming the person i had always feared to be.

Three weeks. THREE WEEKS! and not to mention all the "hints" that crossed my path each day. Films, books, talk..babies everywhere.arghhh..God is wise, that is the conclusion i have come to again. He scared the living sin out of me meyn.

I am thankful for His not so subtle reminder, i am thankful for HIm puttig things back in perspective for me and making me see how easy it is to ruin everything...in the blink of an eye, I am thankful that He has given me a second chance without allowing me make even bigger mistakes. I am thankful that decisions i am not ready to make were not placed before me. I am thankful.

And even though i thought the day will never come, i am thankful for Miss Ruby. I even got a bottle of white wine to celebrate...like i promised myself.

I am thankful for my family.

I am thankful for my friends.

I am thankful for holidays and the fact that i am having a wonderful time back home.

I am thankful for all the lovely people i meet each day.

I am thankful for GOD. as one quote said...Even if God did not exist, it would be necessary that we create Him. I need God.

I am thankful that God put me in a position where i can see for myself what happens when i sideline Him. All the gbese i would have been in would have been as a result of the simple fact that i shut my ears and eyes and heart from Him. I blocked Him out...i thought it was "freedom"..yea right..the type that lands you in hot bondage at the end of it...abeg o!

I am thankful that all my senses are in working order, i am thankful that i am berry berry healthy :P

I am thankfullllllllllllllllllll!
