17Though the fig tree should not blossom,
   nor fruit be on the vines,
the produce of the olive fail
   and the fields yield no food,
the flock be cut off from the fold
   and there be no herd in the stalls,
18^(AH) yet I will rejoice in the LORD;
   ^(AI) I will take joy in the God of my salvation.
19GOD, the Lord, is my strength;
   ^(AJ) he makes my feet like the deer’s;
   he makes me^(AK) tread on my^(AL) high places.

   Habakkuk 3:  17-19

• I am thankful that the above verse is true.   Our situation doesn't change the fact that Jesus is Supreme and is just in doing what pleases Him.  We don't make Jesus Supreme.  He is. 
  
• I am thankful for my mother.  What an example she is to me of love and compassion towards her dear parents who need and rely on her so much.  She has stepped up to the plate and is giving it her all.  I pray that I can do the same for her one day. 
  
• I am thankful for the chance to use my gifts in the service of Jesus.  I was running away from my gifts, not wanting them, wanting a different gift!  How silly I was.  I have finally submitted my will and am embracing my gifts as gifts and not a curse!  (Maybe I will explain that one day.) 
  
• Even though I do not agree with the Economic Stimulus checks, I am thankful that one is on it's way to me.  I am so thankful.  Thank you!  (Now I wish we had more kids. 
• I am thankful that this school year is about over.  We are ready for a break. 
  
• I am thankful that the weather is going to get back into the 70's soon.  That means more time to work on the flower beds.  I have some dreams cooking. 
  

Thanks for taking the time to read my list.  I pray that you have a wonderful day.
