thankful... day twenty-seven.

<< haha.  that picture of my brother-in-law dave is from thanksgiving when he stole my phone, but to be honest with ya it feels like it represents today.  like a big dumb nose.  doesn't feel like there's a lot i love about today.  i felt annoyed and tired of the same stuff i do at work everyday and it felt like the only thing to look forward to was the end of it and i guess this kind of day is the best kind to notice gratitude. 
so here goes.
 i'm thankful...
...for a kind Father who listens to my prayers and loves me even though it feels like i have very little to offer Him.
...for grace.  grace grace grace.  i'll always be thankful for grace.  oh, what a gift.
...for having a job!  lots of people don't and it's something to be grateful for.
...for lunch break and phone calls from fran... my sweet fran, i love him so.
...for life right now, for me, not having to include the crushing weight of losing a loved one like so many people have to deal with and figure out life like that.  seems like an odd one, but when i think about it, my life really isn't that hard right now, especially compared to something like that.

what are you thankful for today?
all we have needed, Thy hand has provided.
