Today is a very good day to be thankful. I so needed it. This has been a very stressful holiday seaason for me....at least the last week or so has. Try as hard as I have to keep my eyes focused on the true meaning of Christmas...and yet I have failed.

God has been so faithful to me today. So, I must be faithful to him and give thanks.

• Today I am thankful for my Moms in Touch time. I was late in getting my sheet filled out for today. Late last night, I didn't know which attribute of God to praise Him for. I chose Jehovah Raah--the Lord our Shepherd. Actually, God chose that last night, even when my heart wasn't in the best place to do the choosing. The verses were just what I needed to hear today. God is so good.
  

• I am thankful for bright spots in my day that just make me chuckle. We have a little bit of sunshine today. Makes everything seem so much cheerier. I happened to glance out our back slider and glanced down at the kids' swimming pool that is covering the turtle sandbox. For some reason, what I saw just made me laugh. God has a sense of humor. Looks like the turtle is sticking his head out for a peek to make sure the rain had really stopped. I thought it was cute anyway.....
  

• I am also thankful that I am almost done with my shopping. Praise the Lord!!!! If all goes well tonight at Costco, I will be free and clear with the shopping. I have to be thankful that at every store I have been to lately, I have found something that has gotten me a little closer to finishing my goal. I have to remember that as I was so disappointed that I couldn't finish completely last night at Toys R Us.
  

Merry Christmas!
