I skipped last week. I’m not sure why, but I didn’t. I missed it. I almost forgot about it today, but I didn’t.
And actually, it ties in with what’s been on my mind this morning.
Many people have those Bible Verses on their sites. You know the ones… they update everyday with a new verse. Some people have their life verse as well.
They are nice, and while I will normally read them, I don’t read read them… you know, wholeheartedly.
But today, I was people watching on MySpace and I came across this one:
“If one falls down his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up.” Ecclesiastes 4:10 (NIV)
I have people that care about me.
Even more profound, I have people that care about me that I don’t know care about me.
Strangers.
Absolutely amazing.
With that being said, here are a few things that I am thankful for this week.
- I am thankful that Lisa and Howard opened their home for me last weekend so that I could attend Whole Woman Day. I am thankful for those that put on the conference and thankful for everything that He revealed to me while I was there. I am thankful that I was able to make it down and back to Raleigh uneventfully. I am thankful for the members of Lisa’s church for making me feel so welcome.
- I am thankful that I do have people praying for me and people that care for me, even if I don’t know that they do. It is my hope that I can one day give back. But I know that in time, that will come.
- I am thankful for my friends. For those that have been praying for me (unbeknowest to me) for two years, TWO YEARS, that I might find a church and begin a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
- I am thankful for the prayer that Pastor Man said for me yesterday. If others see me that way, I need to see me that way. What a blessing to hear!
- I am thankful for my church. They are like no other. They have become family.
- I am thankful for Keith and Beth for volunteering their time in the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program and for agreeing to spend their free time with my children. (I apologize in advance for anything either might do!)
- I am thankful for my quiet time in the morning and spring arriving. Together, they have made for a great start to my day.
I could go on, but I won’t…
Today is a good day…I am thankful that I am able to live it!
Until next time…
Heather

You know, since I began blogging a year ago, I have been utterly amazed at the amount of support one can find from strangers you’ve never met before!
I’ve watched as thousands of dollars were raised for Kelli who needs a kidney transplant, and now for Heather who’s facing a brain tumor.
I’ve seen bloggers praying for other bloggers and their family and making a difference by the supportive comments they leave.
I find myself praying ernestly for people I will probably never meet, and yet I hope with all my heart that my prayers will make a difference for them.
I’m with you, we have much to be thankful for!
hmmmm, wondering if we could set something like “big brother, big sister” up over here, on a small scale, just at our church. Hmmmm?
What a great list of thankfuls…so glad you joined in this week!
Blessings
Enjoyed your thankful list, bless you.
I just think you are wonderful, dear friend. Your posts always bless me.
What a great list of “thanksgiving.” I’m thankful that you shared with us the blessings in your life.
Awesome thoughts on thankfulness today! Glad you didn’t forget! See you next week!!
You are so right; the number of people who care and treat us like family, pray for us. I’m so thankful too, and I was blessed by your list. Have a wonderful weekend.
