Hosted by Iris at Grace Alone
I am thankful that Iris hosts this meme each week. Sometimes life and trials take over and we forget about the blessings we are given even among the difficulties we encounter. This is a great opportunity to take some time each week to remember, count our blessings and be thankful!
I am thankful this week for special blessings in my employment situation (or search thereof). I had an interview this week that went very well and is with a law firm that I think would be a great place to work. It's a small firm - very comfortable and the attorney I met with was genuinely kind and it was a good meeting. I should know their decision by the middle of next week once they complete their interviews.
I'm thankful for my health. This past week I've been suffering from allergy symptoms and have even lost my voice, which by the way I was almost totally devoid of the day of my job interview! I still don't have much of a voice and had to call the Dr, yesterday, for a prescription to help calm my cough. I am healthy and allergies come and go with the season - I am blessed!
I am thankful for my family. Family will always be #2 priority in my life - right behind service to God! I grew up in a very close, loving family and wouldn't trade my life for anything else on this earth! I now am living with my daughter and her family and to see that same dedication to family makes me proud of them. They are, first of all, dedicated to the Lord and His work. They also desire to have a large family to bring up in service to God. My 6 (almost 7) year old granddaughter is the only child in the home now, but they have completed all the paperwork and home studies for adoption and are now waiting for placement.
I am thankful for God's mercy, grace and forgiveness. I love the Lord and know that I fall short many times, but I also know that I will be forgiven for my sins when I ask in prayer because of the awesome gift of God's precious son who carried our sins and anguish with Him to the cross.
