Thankful Thursday ~ Fitting

Well, it's still Thankful Thursday. How fitting it is that I should return to the blog world on one of my favorite blogging activities!

It's been three months since I've written anything worth reading, and I'm not sure if today's is worth it either. Nevertheless, I am thankful for my return.

My sabbatical helped me to focus on my family (it included a trip to Pennsylvania to see my sister, niece, and great-nephew and great-niece). It also included a wonderful retreat with my husband that taught me the importance of time away.

The greatest lesson I've learned is that I'm still a work in progress. I repeatedly get frustrated with my incompleteness ~ unfinished craft projects, dirty dishes, ungraded schoolwork, etc. My completion won't occur until Christ takes me to heaven or He returns to the earth for the rapture.

Philippians 1:6

And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will 

bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. 

So, here today, on Thankful Thursday, I am grateful to my Lord for His gift of grace, His teaching my incomplete heart, and His guidance in my endeavors.
