Sunday, the Day of Blessings

My day has been wonderful for many reasons. I don't think I appreciate life as much as I should. Here it goes:

1. After church, my dad took Eryn and I to Cheddar's for lunch. I love, love, love Cheddar's. I miss having it so close, but now when I eat it, it tastes even better because it has been a while since I have eaten it.
   
   
2. While at lunch, my day told me he was saved. He explained how great his spiritual life has been in the past couple of years that Eryn and I have been at college. I asked if I could pray for lunch and he wasn't hesitant whatsoever, then we began talking about his faith. He has come such a long way since I last talked to him in March. His number one goal is to help those less fortunate than he is, in whatever way he can. This is all from the work of God. I am excited to see him again in Heaven one day.
   
   
3. I came home to watch Wimbledon on DVR that aired while I was at church today. When Djokovic made the winning point, I was shocked. I just sat there for a couple of seconds before I realized he had actually won. I'm going to admit, tears came to my eyes, but they were good tears. I can't believe I cried. It's just a silly game I've never played with players I'll never meet. Oh well, such is life.
   
   
4. I got a B on my last test in my history class after no studying, texting during the test, and watching Djokovic on TV. It brought my grade down to a 97% but I think I can handle that. I seriously I am not putting forth effort in this class like I should, but I can't not try in a class. Oh community college education, how I love thee.
   
   
5. A thunderstorm is about to start. It is nice and windy outside, with light rain just now starting. The lightning is also beautiful. God's wonders, even the thunderstorms, are marvelous.
   
   
6. My family ate at the dinner table tonight, together. Though Eryn and I arrived just as dinner was starting, they were all sitting there, talking and laughing. I cannot remember the last time we used our dinner table to actually eat, but it made me smile. I hope this becomes a trend.
   
   

I suppose I could go on and on with how great my day was, but that could get a little ridiculous. I'll stop there for tonight. I hope this inspires you to count the small blessings in your life; I know I should do that more often.
