THANKSGIVING Thursday (#216)

"Don’t worry about anything, but in everything,
through prayer and petition with thanksgiving,
present your requests to God."
~Philippians 4:6

Today, I am thanking God for...

1.  Tate Haywood inviting Jesus into his heart as his Lord and Savior (11-26-24).  His dad talked him through how people get to heaven as they were outside working together, then he said he was ready to pray to be saved!! ❤

2.  Another great talk with Abby over a butterbeer with chocolate boba!  Thankful for Kim buying my food/drink multiple times now, and for getting to encourage Abby through the stressful parts of Senior year!

3.  Seeing more and more Christmas trees and Christmas lights, including this big tree by the courthouse in Norman!

4.  Saw this right after writing about how God never pushes us away, but He moves toward us when we move toward Him.  It was a timely reminder to give others the same love we've received from God!

5.  Pushing through a rough start for a resilient finish in the race last weekend... and at Disney the week before!  Those smaller-scale victories give me hope about stepping into a new career soon, along with other parts of life that feel rough and unfinished at the moment.  Reminding myself that God is a God of restoration and redemption, and I am being renewed and growing in resilience!  #yayalliteration

6.  Mom bringing more beauty and joy into several homes this Christmas season... including mine and Melissa's and Mrs. Garner's! ❤

7.  Our family Thanksgiving pic from last year - thankful for my fun Christmas purse (switching back to that ASAP), and thankful for physical progress and renewed hope!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING, friends and fam!!  I'm feeling congested and tired tonight (Wednesday), but looking forward to a relaxing morning baking a sheet cake, then the massive family gathering Thanksgiving night at Justin and Anna's.  Hope you feel loved and enjoy the day with people you love!

❤ ❤ ❤

P.S.  Happy 1st Birthday to Asher Kenneth tomorrow!! =)
