Thankful Thursday

I know technically it's not Thursday, but these thoughts come from yesterday. I didn't get a chance to post yesterday because the first half of my day was spent in the doctor's office, while my grandfather had eye surgery; and the second half sleeping trying to overcome this cold, which I found out wasn't a cold. During this time I came up with many things to be thankful for, I was just too tired to go on my computer :-O shocking I know. So let me share these thoughts with you.

I am thankful for overpriced mechanics that quote you one price to get your car in the garage, and then call you and tell you the price is actually 3 times what they quoted because it wasn't what they thought it was. Along with this I'm thankful for a God that's sovereign and that gives me favor so that when I actually pick my car up the overpriced mechanic takes an hour of labor off, and now I only need to pay double the original quote. I'm so thankful for a God who supplies all my needs. And thankful for a car that is now running without a leaky transmission. I am also thankful for my parents who were able to spot me the extra cash until I get paid next week.

I am thankful for my two wonderful nephews. I'm thankful that they know how to share and share with Aunt Jenny quite often; whether it's toys, or funny statement, or germ-infested lolipops! I love my nephews and am so thankful they're in my life. Maybe next time I'll remember not to share the germ-infested lolipop! :)

I am thankful for work. I am thankful for my full-time position which gives me benefits such as, sick time. Especially since the germ-infested lolipop has caused me to be out of work for two days. I'm thankful that in an economy where jobs are scarce God has blessed me with two wonderful jobs! And although sometimes I forget I'm blessed, I really enjoy the work I do.

I am thankful for my friends. The people God has placed in my life to walk with me during different seasons. I'm thankful that I have friends that will cut and color my hair, friends that will listen to me rant and rave, friends that will give me a shoulder to cry on, friends that will help me laugh, and friends that will sharpen me. Thank you God for my friends!

So what are you thankful for today?
