Time FLIES!

It is NOVEMBER (nearing Thanksgiving), and I cannot believe it!
Today is also the 10th week of pregnancy...that too AMAZES me! I am 1/4 of the way through my pregnancy...UNBELIEVABLE! Though I haven't felt 100%, I have had NO morning sickness...(ONLY once in the afternoon) and some major food aversions.
However, I am GRATEFUL that I am able to work and live with some tiredness rather than spending all my time sick!
As Thanksgiving nears, I am reminded of my self-centeredness...and want to grow in GRATITUDE so I will add a few THANKS! for the next few weeks.

I am grateful for the memories of the past and the opportunity the future holds. The past provides me an opportunity to see where God has brought me...HE IS AMAZING.
It reminds me of His Faithfulness, and everyonce in a while I see how much growth HE has brought...though often I see LOTS of "room for improvement" and so I am thankful that He is not through with me!
The family and friends God has placed in my life are UNBELIEVABLE blessings I have had and will have, and I am grateful for them...even when the future is a little uncertain. Friends from my hometown, to couple friends who have mentored us in various ways, to both sides of our family, I am grateful for
I am grateful for my job...even though EVERY MORNING, I dread getting out of bed, I enjoy the young, unique boys and girls, and I have the opportunity to shape their young minds...and I am grateful, even when there are whiners and snotty noses and I feel like NO ONE is listening!

God, Teach me to be thankful for I am SO often self-centered rather than YOU-centered. Open my eyes, ears, and heart to see how GREATLY I am blessed!
