Gratitude Journal For The Week of 1/22/2024

A Church I follow has an app (Crossroads Anywhere) where we journal together as a community, and one of the things we journal about are things we are thankful for. I wrote these for this week's prompts from the app....

"What are you grateful for today?"

I am grateful that God doesn't quit on a flawed person like me, but has a purpose for my life. I am also grateful for the opportunity to try and tackle today's challenges with a better attitude.

"How did someone help you this week?"

The vet removing the staples from our dog's recent surgery, and my wife for transporting the rest of us to work and school so she could also bring our dog to that follow up visit.

Affirmation: "God has not given me a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control."

"Is there anything you would like to thank God for this week?"

Thank You Lord for being with me through the ups and downs of this work week. Thank You for the old Crossroads message/podcast from Terry Phillips that reminded me of the importance of surrendering/letting go, and diligently seeking God. Thank You for time to enjoy this weekend with my family, including some hockey games to look forward to.
