Thankful Thursday

I am thankful for:

The start of another school year for my daughter. Lord willing, she will complete the requirements for her associate degree in computer science in December and transfer to a local university for her bachelor's. I'm thankful for the affordability of community college, its close proximity to home, and the good experience my daughter has had with her professors. I'm also thankful for her hard work and love of learning.

Fellowship (and cheesecake!) with some of the ladies in the church.

Daily work and daily bread.

The promise of the resurrection of our bodies. This is looking better and better as I grow older.

That God is just. It's easy to get discouraged when you see the injustice and evil in the world across many fronts. As I get involved in these issues, I don't want the problems to grow larger in my eyes than God Himself. I can't forget that He is holy and righteous. He does not turn a blind eye to sin. He has compassion for the oppressed and downtrodden. All will be made right one day, and I can trust Him for that.
