Life is Good!

Day 17:


The title of today's post reminds me of one of my favorite songs by Stellar Kart. I tried to definitely be more positive today.


I didn't sleep well, but woke up and showered. Got ready for the day, and headed off to be the hands and feet of Jesus. I am always thankful for being wanted and needed at the church. Today I just did a lot of odds and ends. I made copies, hole-punched 25 packets of information, filed some cards, made some more CDs for the gift bags, and scanned some stuff into the computer.


I also visited a friend for a couple hours as Wednesday is our weekly chat and time to hang out. I always head over there after I help at the church. I love our weekly chats. We talk about what is going on during the week and what God is doing in our lives. It's always a fun time.


Then I went home and had dinner with my mom. We haven't had a lot of time to spend together. We went to Cheddar's in Lansing. We both had salads, and it tasted so good. I loved it and we both ate our entire meal. Then we just had a lovely chat. I miss talking with her and hanging out with her.


Today after I blog this I vow that my room will be somewhat clean before I go to my friend's house tomorrow. I am so excited for my weekly study date and movie time.


Today God showed me patience. It was a good opportunity and I love learning lessons from God. God is good. Also my mom and I talked about me being blessed with good friends. She told me that she thanks God everyday for them. I said I have just started to openly pray about thanking God for my many blessings of friends. 


Well this post didn't turn out as I had thought, just talked about my day and what God has blessed me.


Lord,
I praise you for this day. I thank you that I was able to go and be the hands and feet of Jesus and help out my church. Thank you for the opportunity to spend time with my friend and my mom today. I really appreciate the extra time that I was able to spend with them. Thank you for this beautiful weather today. I pray for the health of my friends and that they continue to be lights for Jesus. I pray that you keep them encouraged this week and continue to share your love and mercy with them. I love you so much. Thanks for all my friends. I pray all these things in your name.


Amen.
