Things that we are thankful for

I think everyone with this app would agree, but I am forever grateful for books 😊📚❤️

Im grateful for my grandma

Yesss so grateful for books! I’m also really grateful for coffee and fuzzy socks and that fall is coming soon!! 🍂

I got a head in school work! Praise the Lord. I was panicking and overthinking too much. I got all my chem done and geometry I understand!

Yayy!! 👏🏻 I know that’s a great feeling!!

Mia got baptized today at her church she is a member of GFB and the society of gentlemen and gentlewomen!!

Im grateful for my family’s patience with my illnesses

What illness if you don’t mind me asking?

POTs (a heart condition) mainly I have a few other chronic illnesses as well such as asthma and EDS (hyper mobility it causes me to get injured frequently)

Oh no!! Well I am glad you can find some good in this situation. I am glad your family takes it well and are patient. I will be praying for you 🫶🏼

What a great thread! This year I've been working on being thankful because we don't realize just how good we have it; 3/4 of the world doesn't have running water, regular electricity, etc. Some days I just remember to be thankful for a house, heat/air conditioning, running water and I actually mean it.

I'm also working to think of noticing what God is doing on a daily basis as well as praising from scripture by spending part of my daily prayer time in Psalms (got that idea from a book!) I read things from various theological backgrounds, and this is an excellent book to get us thinking about how we pray (not that we should make it a religious thing we have to do all the time--legalism doesn't help!) The Hour That Changes the World: A Practical Plan for Personal Prayer by Dick Eastman

It's from the late 1970s, but is still relevant :)

How wonderful that your family is patient; I'm guessing supportive as well.

I was really worried about my hours at work. I had to changed my availability that works with my schedule because my sister needed my family, and wasn't getting hours. I changed it back now that she is doing better, but someone took my place. I was freaking out about not getting money because I want a car, but I just saw someone put up their shift. I am really thankful God answered my prayers.
