I love the holidays and am thankful for them. I love the pomp and circumstance of it such as parades, decorations, and pageants. I love the little quiet moments of it like the prayers, gift giving and the grace. I am thankful that I get to be a part of it with people I love. Most importantly I am thankful that the holidays give me hope.
Psalm 100:4
I am thankful for the spaces God has placed me in because they reflect His glory. Green leaves turn red, orange or yellow and flow effortlessly to the ground creating a carpet that hides the earth. These spaces are filled with beautiful things and teach me more than I ever can imagine.
Reflecting on good things and not so good things usually leads to me to:
I am glad that didn’t work out. Otherwise, I would have never gotten to do….
Looking back at where I have been helps me think about the things that I liked versus the things that I did not like. It forces me to weigh the experience and think about how helpful was it.
I mean some bad experiences taught me more than several good ones combined. It is all in what did you learn.
