This Journey

Thoughts, rants, prayers, sermons I'll never give and other stuff gathered as I make my way through this life.

Grateful No. 12

In an effort to remain positive and focused on the good and blessings I am surrounded with in my life, here is a list of a few of the things I’m grateful for this week:

  1. Getting the Big Icky Project done and completely off my desk (and into the hands of the vendor.)
  2. Not having to go to the state fair this year because the boys are old enough to go with their friends and I don’t have to chaperone.
  3. Being able to host part of the end of the summer party for DS2.
  4. Friday was payday.
  5. Getting the dining room painting done (except for the ceiling.)
  6. That I can offer shelter to a friend who is this far from being homeless. And being able to accept her offer of barter instead of cash.
  7. Not seeing a mouse all week!!
  8. Three really good and powerful organizing meetings this week.

A paradox wrapped in an enigma playing the accordion. I'm a sinner-saint, child of God working at the cross-roads of church and world. A Deaconess called to connect people living near the center with people on the edge and to help your life sing (literally and figuratively) while doing it. People don't always get the deaconess part. Could be the swearing, the corporate job, or the wine.

  1. Yes! Gratitude is much needed for me lately as well. What a load it lifts but how far I’ve strayed from it!

    Thank God for gratitude!
