Thankful Thursdays...

For the last couple of months I have been following the blog of a woman who celebrates Thankful Thursdays. Each week, on Thursday she takes time out of her busy life to pause and be grateful for what God has given her. In an effort to realize the gifts that God has blessed my life with and follow the command that is laid out for us in scriptures to give thanks I am now celebrating Thankful Thursdays on my blog as well. Sometimes it may be silly little things that make me smile, or huge blessings that He has bestowed upon me, either way I have so much to be thankful for.
Today I am thankful for.....

A job that I adore and allows me to explore the passions that my Lord has placed in my heart. Even when I am stressed to the max, I can't help but be thankful for the fact that I get to watch God bring families together.

I am thankful for Co-workers who are also friends- who support me in my professional life and my personal life.

Opportunities to learn more about who God is and see him in ways that are new and fresh. Most recently for me, this has happened through reading The Shack and through hearing some of my close friends talk about their callings to the ministry.

Please feel free to join in celebrating Thankful Thursday on your blog!
