How can it be Friday again already? Wow! :D
Yesterday I did really well choosing good things to eat; it's a good thing, too, because last night I visited my friend and her hubby went to get us Chinese food. If I'd not eaten sparingly earlier, I'd have been waaay over my calories. And I did drink lots of water throughout the day.
Here's the devotional for today: http://davesgarden.com/journal/si/4987.html
I have always loved this Scripture. I think what stands out to me is how it says "in everything give thanks". It's not "FOR everything...". To me, it's a reminder that nomatter what my circumstances, I have so much to be thankful to God about.
I'm not expected to say "Gee, thanks for how my back hurts like crazy today, Lord!". I am, however, reminded that I need to give thanks IN my circumstances. I CAN say, "Thanks for how I can enjoy life even with my back hurting, Lord. Thanks for how You sustain me and provide for my needs. Thanks for my sweet husband, for my friends, for giving me such a caring doctor...For everything You do to provide for my family. Thank you for giving me the beautiful spring to enjoy, for green things growing all around me..."
That I can do! Gosh, we have so much to be thankful for, you know? What are you especially thankful for today?
