Gratitude

As we embark upon another Thanksgiving...I am brought to my knees in gratitude for my wonderful Friends and family! I sat in bed this morning praising and thanking God for all of you. My heart overwhelmed with your thoughtfulness, grace,mercy and love! Through your emails, phone calls, letters and blogs, I realize how blessed I am by your friendships! You all "know" my heart! I never have to worry where I stand with you, just like I never have to worry where I stand with the Lord! Even though I mess up constantly and I am always in need of your mercy and grace you all are angels of the Lord ! I was talking to a friend the other day about a dilemma and we connected in a way that felt like praise and worship, I yearn for those times! I am addicted to those conversations! I was at church this weekend and of course the talk was on grace and gratitude b/c of thanksgiving but differently than my typical cynical and sarcastic tone, this talk really hit me to the core. He was right we don't praise God, and thank Him as we should...I think of the verse to "pray continuously" do I do this or do I go on with life until I NEED to pray continuously!
So thank you and I'm SO grateful and thankful to you all who stir me to MORE, you who make me YEARN for OUR Lord, where I want to run to the throne and throw myself down and worship the ONE who wants to Love me, and who wants me even though I am so sinful and I do falter and fail!
I love you all!
