I am currently watching the snow fall outside my window.
I can’t say this is something that I ever thought would be a common occurrence in my life. But this winter has been plagued with storm after storm after storm here on the East Coast (and also in the Midwest).
For me though, this winter has brought more than just snow.
The ups and downs have been sad, overwhelming, exciting, frustrating, discouraging, full of relief, hopeful, exhausting, and enlightening.
And as Valentine’s Day reminds us all of the importance of love, I smile thinking about everything everyone that I love. AND everyone who loves me.
So while I bundle up and hunker down for the remaining weeks of winter, I want to share a few of the things in my life that I am thankful for.
- I am thankful for HPCA and its dedication to educating the children of Northern Philadelphia (who without HPCA would be attending failing public schools).
- I am thankful for heartfelt handwritten letters that travel the 3000 miles the slow way.
- I am thankful for prayer and its faithful power even when I find myself doubting.
- I am thankful for healing.
- I am thankful for family and the times we are brought together.
- I am thankful for Jesus’ unlimited refills of grace upon grace.
(And after over 55 inches of snow this winter, I am thankful for shoveled sidewalks and a few seconds of sunshine)
I am thankful for you. And for continuing to join me on this journey.
