I don’t really want to write this today. This week hasn’t been a great week, and it’s not going to end soon enough for me. But as I look back there are still some things I can be thankful for, which shouldn’t surprise me. God’s blessings are all through my life if I only look. And part of the point of doing this Thankful Thursday thing was to remind myself of the things I can be thankful for, even when I feel like life isn’t great.
College friends
On Saturday night we had some friends from college over: two ladies from our year who live in the residence at college. It was lovely to have them over. I asked for advice with my knitting, a car was washed and we played a few games after dinner. It was just nice spending time with them. I’m also thankful for my friends at college and enjoyed seeing them again now that semester two has started. I had a good conversation with a friend over lunch today about why this week is stressing me out and she was lovely and gentle as we discussed together. Thank you friend.
Chaplaincy Group
This morning I had chaplaincy group, a group of second to fourth years who meet weekly to discuss various issues of theology and life. This is also the group we went with on mission together. Today we met our new male chaplain, because the one we had last semester is now away on study leave. He is a new lecturer at college. It was lovely to meet him and get to know him a bit, as well as be back together as a chaplaincy group and laugh together. I enjoy our camaraderie.
Hope
I wrote about this already in my previous post so I’ll just mention it briefly here. I heard a wonderful sermon yesterday that was so encouraging. I am thankful for all that God has done, who he is, and who I am because of him. I have hope because of Jesus, so I try to look up at him.
What are you thankful for this week?
