As I was checking what was going on with a few blog friends one reminded me what day of the week it was. I do not know if it is age or that life is so busy that I as a person forgets what day of the week it is. Five days left in the year 2007. I can remember what happened 50 years ago, but can not remember what happened yesterday. Well, enough rambling.
Today is Thursday and I am thankful for life. The year of 2007 was the fist year I can say I was in the best health I had been in a number of years. Praise the Lord.
God has been so good to me in His plan to keep me living through good and bad times.
Patience I can say is not one of my good points, but God is teaching the lesson to me, as I wait for Him to lead me to the next period of my life. I have the faith to know there is a job out there for me so I wait on the Lord. The waiting began May 19,2007 on the day of graduation from college. At times it is so hard to know what God wants, but as I look back I see His plan. To wait is not so bad.
Blessings come when we least expect them. Carrie on Christmas day asked all of us to write down our blessings for the past year. She then rolled them up, tied them in beautiful ribbon and put them on her tree. Next year she said we will open them as we write down our blessing for 2008. My blessings consist of good health and graduating from college.
This is the last Thursday for the year 2007. In our lives what is the last of for us? The years are flying by and 2008 will be another surprise in my life and I for one can not wait to see and experience what is ahead for me and mine. Until Thursday January 3, 2008 keep warm, healthy, happy, and enjoy life from a woman who is still a Creation In Progress.

Wow! Did you say you just graduated from college? What a wonderful thing to do. You go girl!
Good Evening Joyce,
Sorry, I'm so late in visiting, but I haven't been feeling well today. "CONGRATULATIONS" on your Graduating College. We should all be "THANKFUL" each and every day for each breath of life we breathe. I think that is so neat that Carrie had yall to write down yall's "THANKSGIVINGS" for 2007. I know it will be so neat to read them next Christmas. Girl, I'm not good with patience either. I need to work on that this coming year myself. Take care my friend and have a great evening. May God Bless You and Yours.
Hugs,
Karen H.
I enjoyed your post. I'm glad you had such good health this past year.
Hi Joyce...now that everything has slowed down a bit I hope to get back to reading my favorite blogs. 2007 was a wonderful year, rich with blessing all around. I am so glad it was such a healthy year for you...I am thinking that is just the beginning of what the Lord has planned for you. Just a thought but....maybe God has given you a ministry INSTEAD of a job..You minister to so many by blogging and visiting others we will have to pray on that. I wish you continued blessings, ministry, and good health in the coming year(((hugs)))
I really, really love this post. I think your idea of writing blessings and hanging them on the tree is fantastic.
Also, 2008 our Lord has the perfect job for you. Begin praying everyday about the kind of boss you would like and what challenge you are seeking in your career. Thanks for sharing with ne.
I pray God showers you with many miracles in 2008. Love and hugs, Lynn
First of all congrats on the college graduation and your degree! That is awesome. What a blessing to be thankful for. May the next year be the best year yet!
