Simply Grateful for Good People

Thanksgiving has come and gone, and what a joyous, uncomplicated past week it has been. I am in the beginning of a precious new friendship, with a bonus dog for Mattie to play with and learn from. This new friend's calm, upbeat attitude and willingness to work through things amazes and delights me. Back-bending hours of picking up pecans alongside me in the backyard, being kind to my family and friends and dog, opening doors for me, unashamedly praying and thanking God for His provisions and mercy: these small acts speak volumes about my new friend's courage and spirit. This Thanksgiving, I am reminded to be thankful for the people God leads into my life to encourage and minister to me. Be Well.
