4 days back on nightshift and I feel worn again. But there are many things to be thankful for in feeling worn, I'm working for my family - providing for my husband and I. I have someone on nights with me, to keep me awake and to talk to. I'm thankful for the paycheck at the end of the two weeks. I'm thankful that I don't need to pick up a part time job or whatever just to make ends meet. And really, it would be okay if I did have to do that - at least I'm able to work. I'm thankful that I get to have dinner with my husband every night. I'm thankful that we've had so much company this summer so far, and am really looking forward to having Josh's parents stay with us this weekend. I'm thankful that I have Friday and Monday off. I'm thankful that the two day-shift jobs are still posted on the job board, because that means they haven't given them to anyone yet. I'm so very hopeful that I'll get a call within the next week. But if I don't, it's still okay. This time in admitting is temporary, and I can see that - even if it weren't temporary, it would be okay because God's hand is in everything, and as long as God's hand is in it - it is good. I was able to find a schedule that works best for me and that is a blessing. I'm thankful for the blue skies and sunshine. I'm thankful that I got to talk to my dad on the phone last night, I'm thankful that I have such a close relationship with my family. I'm thankful that I have vacation with Josh's family in NC to look forward to, and that we have a reliable car that can get us there. I'm thankful for our health - Josh and my's... I count ourselves lucky that we can walk, and breathe on our own. Not everyone has that luxury. Thank you, Lord for your many marvelous blessings. Amen

Love, Sara
