Today I’m thankful…
…for a lovely bike ride, just me a God. We chatted, I surrendered, He granted peace.
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything through prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.”
~Philippians 4:6-7
…for a nice break at a playground from my childhood. I fondly remember swinging on the swings, walking along the railroad-tie retaining wall, and hopping on my bike for the return trip across the railroad tracks.
…for an “accidental” run in with friends. I dropped by my folks house on my way home from my ride to say “Hi” to my little sister. She had Kayla and Joanna over and invited me to watch a movie with them.
…for a sweet chick flick. Thanks to the long conversation with God on my bike ride, I was able to make it through a chick flick, not once but twice. I haven’t been able to do that (that is, watch a chick flick all the way through) for months.
…for my brother cooking for us. I’d already eaten dinner, but when Timothy offered to prepare Mac’n’Cheese for the girls, I wouldn’t refuse. He served us lemon and strawberry sherbet (bought with his own money) to go along with it.
…for a friend who listens. I’ve been so blessed to have Joanna as a friend. Last night, she listened (yet again) as I shared my laden heart.
It all sounds really, really fabulous. Peaceful and happy. Now I would desperately like to go on a bike ride and then watch a movie…
Jealously knows no bounds!
