🙏🏻 Thankful Thursday
This week has been one of those weeks.
The kind where you write checks you really wish you didn’t have to write…
(the four and almost five figure kind to the IRS 😅)
The kind where unexpected obstacles show up…
…where plans shift…
…where the future feels uncertain…
…where you realize once again how little is actually in your control.
And yet…
Right in the middle of it all, there are still so many things to be thankful for.
Tonight, as the sun began to set here on my little Texas homestead, I stepped outside to feed the animals and was reminded again that peace doesn’t come from everything going perfectly…
It comes from remembering Who is in control.
The baby chicks are growing and thriving 🐥🐓
The frogs are croaking in the distance 🐸
The crickets are singing their evening song 🦗
The sky is soft and golden, and the air feels still and calm in that way only a Texas evening can.
And in that moment, it becomes clear again…
God is faithful in the middle of the unknown.
Even when finances feel tigh.
Even when circumstances feel stretching.
Even when the road ahead feels uncertain.
We can still find something to be thankful for…
right here in the moment we’re standing in.
Because peace isn’t found in perfect conditions.
It’s found in trusting that The Good Lord is in control of it ALL 🙌🏻
No matter what today held, there is still beauty.
There is still provision.
There is still purpose.
There is still hope.
And sometimes gratitude looks like simply stepping outside…
taking a deep breath…
and remembering that His plans are always greater than our worries.
Thankful tonight for simple things…
for growing chicks…
for evening songs of creation…
for quiet reminders that we are never carrying things alone.
Happy Thankful Thursday 🤍
What is something you’re thankful for today?
