Thankful Thursday, Take 6

I know it's not Thursday....but at least I'm getting it out there, right?! :) This should have been for Thursday, Dec. 20.

Thanking God last week for:
  • A great small group Christmas potluck. I love all of those folks!
  • A seamless trip back to NY to see my family
  • No drama with said family
  • And, the ability to actually speak my mind, with tact and grace...but TRUTH too when it's been necessary
  • Ron and Leslye's willingness to care for my kitty while I was away
  • Forming real relationships with my younger siblings - especially my brothers - now that they're growing up and since we had lots of time together
  • Jesus' presence in my life even when I don't feel it
  • Encouragement, perspective, grace and wise words from my pastor during a recent breakfast meeting
  • The wonder of the incarnation - the fact that Jesus would humble Himself to become human - and to start out as a helpless infant - just to sacrifice Himself for my sins is far too overwhelming to even begin to express.
