Yes, I've decided to make some delicious, icy cold lemonade.
Sometimes I find myself holding so many lemons, I forget their amazing use...especially on these hot, dry days.
I feel like I've have asked God many times...WHY??? I probably sound like a toddler to Him. I do have questions and though I may not quite understand what is happening right now in my life, nor tomorrow or next month, God has given me so many reasons to let go of what I can't control and let Him do the rest. So as I wait for God for these answers...I choose to be thankful for what He has done in my life.
1. He has blessed me, my family and extended family's health.
2. Friends that I can connect with, that encourage me and love me for me.
3. Safety as I have travelled close to home and states away.
4. More food than I could ever need.
5. Neighbours...at any time of day.
6. Kris' job that he loves and stability at work.
7. Kids that stretch me to think, pray and give of my time.
8. A supportive hubby who is so loving.
9. Sunshine
10. To every closed door, God has opened another.
I have chosen to not dwell on the stress in my life. My life is not perfect. I have many fears, unknowns and issues going on right now. And as I pray for patience, I remind myself that I have this list and so many other reasons to know that God cares for me and is in control right now!
What are you thankful for today?

A good list, a good thing to keep out to remind you when things are going as planned according to us. His plans are so much better and complete!
Right now, I'm thankful for words of encouragement and a fire to warm the house.
I meant to say, when things aren't going as planned...oops!
