Thankful list
(This list is not in order or complete, this is a compact list of a few things for today.)
1. I am thankful for cellphones, even though 90% of the time I don't like them and get annoyed by them. I got to talk to my mom and dad today for the first time via cellphone in a long long long time. I forgot what it will be like to live at home and just be able to call the ones that I love and miss any time I want. I have to admit hearing my parents' voice and calling them brought tears to my eyes. I also received a very sweet unexpected message on my cellphone from my best friend, again tears of happiness filled my eyes.
2. I am thankful for friends who bring laughter, food, coffee, and tears of happiness into my life. :) I am also very thankful for their friendship and for allowing me to be apart of their lives.
3. I am thankful for trials. Over the past few weeks, I have been able to see how God has been weaving a common theme and lesson into my life. I have also been able to see how He has allowed some trials into my life in order that I may mature in my walk with Him.
4. I am grateful for the transformation that God has done not only in my life but also in the lives of others. I am so thankful for His great love and sacrifice for us.
5. I am thankful for a warm bed to climb into every night and for the food that God provides for me every day.
6. I am thankful for being able to be a part of the ministry at Valle del Sol.
7. I am thankful for children, no matter their age.
8. I am thankful for people who use their hands and feet to help others, no matter how big or how small the need might be.
