12 Important Life Lessons
- Willpower, devotion, and prayer produce results.
- Respect is earned by being respectful, not by social stature or rank.
- Manipulation is the opposite of love. It is a form of abuse. It is arrogant, insists on its own way, and is full of deceit.
- We are called to be loving. And we are called to love.
- Everyone is equally important to God. Everyone.
- Outward appearance isn’t always reflective of the true heart. Remember that.
- A positive attitude builds bridges. A negative attitude burns them.
- Friendship is a gift worth investing in.
- Doing the right thing always feels good in the end.
- Always stand up for what is right, regardless of popularity.
- God loves you.
- God loves me.

Thankful
So the word “thankful” gets thrown around a lot this time of year. I could say I am thankful for my health, my family, my job, etc. And I am. But this year I am mostly thankful for God’s grace and forgiveness. For if I didn’t have those two things, there is no way I could possibly have anything else worth while. I would be lying if I said I wouldn’t change any of my decisions or my actions over the course of my life. I definitely would. I have done A LOT of stupid things. And I have made some REALLY BAD decisions. So this year I am most thankful that I am forgiven and that God’s grace allows me to continue to grow in who I am as a wife, a mother, a sister, a daughter, a co-worker and a friend. My hope is that you really reflect on what you are thankful for before you say the first answer that rolls off your tongue. Happy Thanksgiving friends.
