I read a suggestion to put slips of paper in a jar when good things happen and then review them at the end of the year. I haven't found a jar big enough yet because I've got high hopes that I'll be maxed out and more when it comes to blessings this year. Why just waking up is a reason to celebrate.
So yesterday we started the New Year on our knees at Greater Grace World Outreach. Then after sleeping in, we had a leisurely day at home and a wonderful visit from my friend, Shirley who is in town from Central Florida for a few days. I miss her so much and the visit was golden. It was just like old times.
Today Lloyd got some good news from his doctor. He can continue to stay off the diabetes meds for now. His numbers are good and he just needs to continue with watching his diet, getting some exercise, and monitoring his glucose levels once a day.
So there are 2 slips in my virtual jar. And I'm a happy camper.
Go ahead. Google "Good things jar" and you'll be amazed at the number of hits.
