I know a lot of people need one and I know what it is like to feel like you can't find one. I'm thankful for a challenging job to perform in and to help others.
November 15th: That my job is just my job
Did I mention that last week was stressful? Because it most definitely goes down as one of the worst. Honestly though, my weeks can be bad because of the amount and speed of work that needs to be done, but it is the emotional part that is the icing on the cake. Sometimes I am the last hope for people in between them and homelessness and sometimes the weight of that is incredibly heavy. Numerous times last week as I was driving home (and trying to decompress and leave everything behind) all I could think of was the opportunity to have a car, a home, and a supportive family and that my job is just my job...and not my life. I pray for those who have little and need support.
Not very creative, but very simple and important. I'm extra thankful we have no car payments.
November 17th: Date days
I love days with my husband. We decided to camp out at the movie theater on Saturday and watch two different movies. I really love days where we put our phones aside and just enjoy one another's company.
November 18th: clife
cLife is the name of our church's small groups. We meet every Sunday evening and get spoiled with a full meal, lots of sugar, and good discussion. I'm thankful to be plugged in and for the opportunity to love on others and let them stretch you.
November 19th: Cleaning supplies (Laundry machines, mops, vacuums)
I was in a cleaning mood on Monday and I can't imagine life without my swifter mop, vacuum, dishwasher, and laundry machine. Not to mention, we sell and use the best cleaning supplies out there and I don't take for granted how awesome they work.
November 20th: Coffee dates
I am looking forward to a coffee date tonight and I am reminded these need to be more regular. In college I constantly had coffee dates with friends and peers. I've noticed that as life gets busier and more comfortable it is harder to put yourself out there and just take the time to sit with people and build relationships. I've let so many relationships slip away over the past 3 years and I know that I can do better (and am called to do better) in investing in those around me.
