Pause...

Already a month into Term 2. Time is passing quickly.
I pause and think of some things I am grateful for:
Friends near me now
Friends far away
The love of family
A sunny window in my room
Chocolate chip cookies
A restful afternoon
The opportunity to study
An awesome job
The diversity of people
A warm comfy bed
Fairy lights
Beautiful music
Photographs of treasured memories
The ability to read
God’s intricate involvement in my life
That I don’t have to be perfect
Kind people
A warm coat on a cold day
Worldwide communication
The talents I have
A beautiful city
Shared laughter
People who have walked the road ahead of me
The full range of emotions
The freedom to be myself
Opportunities to have fun
The sound of birds outside
Beautiful little crocuses
Bright green moss on knobbly trees
The sound of water
Juicy oranges
The smile of a stranger
That floating feeling of hope
The glory of God in every day
Comfortable clothing
Colourful days
