Offering Thanks in the Midst of Change

So, goodbye 

to extended hours

to write and create.

I'm saying hi

to a cubical 

and a job as of late.

My heart is struggling, 

heavy in the midst of change.

so much juggling

as life is rearranged...

 BUT

My desire is to sing out gratitude

in the midst of every day.

May I put on Christ's attitude

so it shows in all I say.

I'm grateful for a paycheck at the end of each week.

Thankful for sunrises painted across the sky as I drive to work.

Grateful for Sue Monk Kidd's book, "First Light", on CD to listen to while I drive.

Thankful for patience and flexibility to deal with frustrations at work and on the road. 

Thankful for over-the-counter meds to help with UTI symptoms until I can get to a Dr.

Grateful for Sterling, my Toyota; "she" gets me to work and back in comfort and good gas mileage.

Thankful for my Father God who doesn't give up on me. 

Grateful that He finishes the work He's started in me.
