Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him.Romans 12:1

A THANKFUL NOVEMBER

I can't believe this is the last day of November 2011!! I don't know who started the "Thankful Status" on Facebook this year but I am glad they did and have enjoyed sharing some of my blessings!! 
God is and has been so very good to me while I am so underserving. 
Many mornings I had to think really hard of the one blessing I wanted to highlight that day because I have so much to be thankful for that I couldn't even begin to list.
I have amazing friends and a wonderful family who brighten my days and a Savior who provides all I need! 
I am VERY THANKFUL and looking forward to what December 2011 holds...........

Thanksgiving Day 6: I am thankful God blessed me with a job I love!!
Oh you're a nurse?? That's cool, I wanted to do that when I was a kid. What do you make?" "WHAT DO I MAKE??" I make holding your hand seem like the most important thing in the world when you're scared. I can make your child breathe when they stop. I can help your father survive a heart attack. I make myself get up, put on a uniform, and leave my family so that your mother has the medicine she needs to live. I work all day to save the lives of strangers. Today, I might save your life. I make a difference, what do you make?"
Thanksgiving Day 7: This morning I am thankful for the little pleasures in life such as COFFEE and DELICIOUS creamer!!
