Be Thankful & Watch Your Mouth

Point 1: Today is a day of being thankful. So I will. If I repeat myself, oh well.

Thank you for my life, my mom and dad, my sister and her husband, because I can see, because I can sing, because I have food to eat, because You have us a house to live in, because You are with me, because You love me, because I'm in college, because You gave me a scholarship, for Annie & the Gatlins, for Echo, for Erik, for Lindsay, for Kelsie, for Frankie, for Jessica, for everything I've been through because You've carried me here, for hearing my cries, for the kiddos at work because I love them, for all my coworker [Lord show me how to love like You loved and speak of You, Jesus, more than anything else], for Norma, for Lisa and her family, for Morgan & Reagan, for Consuelo, for Kimmi, thank you for having stepped down from your throne to become human and die a horrible death [praise Your name You are risen!] thank you for the job you've given me, for this car, for the ability to take my parents out to eat, for being able to give them a hug and a good night kiss, for the clothing that you've given me, for Your mighty Word that lights my path...

Point 2: Watch what you say because you can never take it back once it leaves your mouth.
I want to speak more of Jesus to my coworkers. I want to talk about "me" less to my coworker and talk about Him and how He is everything to me and how He is all I live for. He is the only way, the only truth, and the only life. When I try to be outstanding (literally) I should think what I should say... I just think that being reserved includes learning how to be self-controlled. You choose your words wisely and if you're unsure, you wait to way anything. Still, I want to be wise in speaking when it's time to speak and hush when it's time to say nothing. So Lord, help me today as I go to work and school to be set apart for You. You put me on this earth for a reason so I know I am not supposed to be secluded from people at work [or school], keep me there to show YOU. But I am nothing without You so please help me be more like You.

Love,
Katy
