God revealed a glimpse of His grace today. A teacher friend mentioned that there would be a faculty meeting after school. It’s probably going on right now. And I’m not there. I’m blogging instead – a grace I never anticipated or imagined during my years in education. I am so grateful for the gift of these unexpected days that allow me to pursue my dream of a writing career.
God revealed this grace, but I’ve decided to list others so I’m aware of them and won’t take them for granted:
- A husband who supports my writing endeavors
- A daughter who is not homesick during her first semester at college
- A brother and sister-in-law who love Abby the wonder dog
- The only clump of mums (above) that survived the mid-April hard frost
- Getting a picture of them a day before they began to fade
- The colors of autumn trees outside the big picture window
- The big picture window
- A cloudless blue October sky
- A warm house
- My automatic washer and dryer – today was laundry day
- My MacBook
- Being able to walk four miles each morning
But don’t live vicariously through my list. Make your own instead. I guarantee it will make you grateful instead of greedy, caring instead of complaining.
So give it a try. You’ll be glad you did.
