I’ve been sitting at home this afternoon waiting for it to rain. The weather forecast predicted a lot of rain today but I’m yet to see any of it! I’m glad that I made it home while it was still dry. Here are some things I’m thankful for this week.
It’s my birthday!
It’s my birthday today! I have to admit that I often feel a bit strange on my birthday. More people talk to you than normal, saying ‘happy birthday’ and doing nice things. I’m not used to the extra attention and I’m not really sure how to react to it. But I have enjoyed the love that friends and family have shown me. I’m thankful for these people.
Quick crafts
On Monday I started a crochet project and I finished it today. It was for a sock bun, I found the pattern here. It was basically a large square that I rolled up and sewed together. I haven’t tried it out yet but I’m looking forward to it. I’m not sure how curly hair goes in a sock bun but I figured this would be a cheap way of trying it! I’ll let you know how it goes.
Rebuke and encouragement
There have been a number of instances in the past two weeks when I have felt rebuked about my Bible reading and prayer habits, but particularly prayer. A lecture two weeks ago, a small group that I led and a chapel sermon. I’ve been encouraged to get back into the habit, and though it has been slow, I have been more regular than before. I’m thankful for these painful reminders and the motivation they produced in me.
I’ve got to stop there are get ready to go out for my birthday dinner!
