Thankful Thursday

I am thankful for the women God has put into my life:

My mother in law let us move in with her for two weeks when we could not stay in our new house. She let us use the living room as our closet. She cooked a huge dinner each night, insisted on cleaning the kitchen by herself, washed all our clothes while I was at work each day and NEVER complained.

My cousin agreed to keep my cat, Sweetie, for one week while we moved. One month later, she is still keeping her, loving her, treating her very well, and has bonded with her so much that she re-named her Priscilla. She has even agreed to continue to keep Priscilla for a little while longer until our house is ready. This is just the latest in a very long list of loving and kind things that she has done for me.

My best friend since 5th grade is truly happy for every blessing that comes my way and is interested in all of the smallest details of my life. No matter what happens to either of us, we cant wait to call the other one and inform them-just like we did in Jr. high. I cant count the mornings we drive to work while talking on the phone- only to call each other again on the drive home. I did not realize how rare it is to have such a good friend, until her teenage daughter whined that she wished she had a best friend like we have.

My Weight Watcher leader that I take for granted. She is always friendly, always encouraging and always seems very happy to see me. She even remembered me when I came back after one year of being away, and was cheering the loudest after introducing me to the group.
