I'm thankful for ....

Your Support!

This week over at The Story Matters, it's a "I'm thankful for... challenge"

Take it as a time somehere in the midst of our scrapping schedule to just give thanks!

You might say, "But Sophia, it's been a bad and harrowing week, things are going downhill, what else is there to be thankful for"

If you are a believer like me, let us give thanks that Jesus' grace and mercies are new every morning, that He will give us the grace to overcome and handle whatever situation that we are faced with.

Or the fact that His Word is stable and unchanging in this times of chaotic, unstable changes.

And for the non-believer friends, we can be thankful that we still have the love and support of our spouse, our children, our loved ones.

The little and great blessings that we have had been experiencing for the past year.

Nonethless, I'm sure you have something to give thanks for!! So take this time to reflect and think about it and do a LO - it could be all design with lots of journalling or a photo of the person/s that you want to talk about.

In this case, I'm thankful for Dave's support to me, during my 10K women's run some 3 weeks back. I can never ever emphasize enough, how much my husband's support means to me, coz we are One Flesh! I hope in return I've been a good sport in supporting him too.

Here's my layout.

Close-up shots of the details.

My heartfelt journalling:

I hope you liked this one =)

Dave is coming home to me from HK today, so yay!! Am excited to see him home again. I think Daren will be even more uber excited to see his daddy.

And...

In my being in a super thankful mode, I've changed my playlist to a list of Christian worship songs. I hope it not only blesses you who are believers, but to those who are non-believers too. If it offends you, just press stop the player k?

It's some of my all time favourite songs through my life's journey.

I love the 1st song of the list. It's a more recent song which just moves my heart.

Below is the lyrics of the 1st verse and chorus to share:

I have never walked on water. Felt the waves beneath my feet but

At Your Word Lord I'll receive Your faith to walk on oceans deep.
And I remember how You found me. In that very same place
All my failing surely would have drowned me.
But You made a way.

You are my freedom. Jesus You're the reason.

I'm kneeling again at Your throne.

Where would I be without You.

Here in my life. Here in my life.
