30 Days of Gratitude ~ Day 20


        I am thankful today for my chair in my bedroom. I purchased this chair several years ago with some “inheritance” money I received. It is a beautiful, comfy chair and most mornings that is where you can find me curled up with my Bible and journal.
        My chair is situated by one of the windows and, because our home is a split level, when I look out the window I can almost feel like our home is in the middle of a beautiful wooded lot with no neighbors. I love sitting and looking out the window as I reflect on what I’ve just read in my quiet time.
        Just an arm’s length away from the chair is my hope chest at the foot of our bed. Many times when I am praying I picture Jesus sitting on there on the chest as we have a conversation and I share my heart with Him.
        As I sit in my chair He lovingly and patiently listens to
                my fears and confusion
                my joys at a new discovery
                my tears and hurts
                my petitions for family and friends
                my adoration and expressions of love  
        I’m thankful for my chair my place of quiet solitude to meet my Creator Redeemer ~ my Abba.
