Grateful Friday

Silent gratitude isn't much use to anyone.

~G.B. Stern

I am grateful for the opportunity to write and connect with friends on the internet. I love blogging, both my own and the ones I read, and the various sites that I peruse each day - it is such a blessing.

I am so grateful that we got to drive the North Cascades Highway today in the glorious PNW sunshine - it was GLORIOUS! We are so blessed to live in such a beautiful part of our great country!

Since I'm pretty discouraged with some things I have been reading here on the internet as of late (not worth discussing, though), I'm going to say that I'm grateful for the ability to ignore.

I'm pondering this quote:
“People do not seem to realize that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.” (Ralph Waldo Emerson )

The LORD is my everything. Period. I can't do anything without Him.

"The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your child, a good example; to a father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all men, charity.” ~Benjamin Franklin

This morning I'm grateful that the LORD sometimes says it's OK for me to do something I've wanted to do just for me. So, so very grateful :-)

What are you grateful for this week?
