Thankful Thursday

“…it’s not about what God isn’t giving but what He is giving.  We can get so locked onto what we don’t have, what we think we want or need, that we miss the gifts God is giving….Father…I pray for a more gracious posture, to be open and grateful for what you are giving at any given time.”  John Eldredge, Walking with God

Father, I am grateful for what you have given over the last week.  The moments to slow and enjoy.  God, you are so good!

Thanks Mary! I use Windows Live Writer to think through my post before I publish it. They have a feature that allows you to put a watermark on the photo.
