I have carried you since you were born; I have taken care of you from your birth. Even when you are old, I will be the same. Even when your hair has turned gray, I will take care of you. I will sustain you and I will rescue you. Isaiah 46:3-4
At Mistletoe this weekend, my mom and I came across this verse at one of the booths. It gave me goosebumps when I read it. On days when I feel like I'm alone, or I feel like giving up...it is so refreshing to be reminded that He has carried me since birth. That same God who carried me as a baby, and walked me through my adolescent years, and blessed me with such an amazing husband as an adult will be the same. Even when I'm old and my hair has turned gray, He will take care of me and sustain me!
As Thanksgiving draws near, I am encouraging my students to think of all the things they are thankful for. I should take my own advice. Instead of dwelling in stress, disappointment, loneliness, and anxiety...I need to sit down and simply be thankful. Thankful for the infinite list of blessings He has given me that I am so undeserving of. Simply sit. Simply give thanks. He has been with me since before I was born. He has carried me all the way. He promises to take care of me when I'm old. He will rescue me. Rest in Him, Megan. Thank Him!
I will thank Him for...
...a beautiful day.
...the phone call from my hubby this morning to greet me.
...my sore tummy from laughing so hard this weekend.
...the Christian women He has placed in my life to guide and inspire me.
...the children who need me. (Heaven help them for depending on ME! Ha!)
...Christmas commercials and electric blankets.
...sweet dreams.
...the opportunity to learn from my mistakes.
...the reminders of what I take for granted.
...building my patience and trust through our infertility journey.
...winter boot SALE!
...hand sanitizer.
...falling asleep on the phone with my DH (darling husband).
...skeletal lesson plans next week!
What are you thankful for?
P.S. - Thanks, Farm Wife, for the reminder to list thanksgivings. I needed that today!
