Thankfulness 2018: Week 7

Again week 7 was another crazy week of chaos and uncertainty at work.  Some things for which I was thankful were:

• In love the Father veils the future
• Receiving a compliment on my work
• A quick greeting from a friend.  He stopped by my desk just to say "hi" and to tell me to keep encouraged.
• Waking with a hymn in my head
• A funny encounter at the grocery store
• The power of asking.  What was made obvious to me that week was the power of asking.  In our human relationships, there is power in asking for what we need or want.  Not in a whining way, but telling somebody what we need because other people aren't mind readers.  God is a mind reader, so we don't need to ask for things because he doesn't know.  But I think there are two things related to asking God that supply the power.  One is admitting to ourselves that we need something.  The second is humbling ourselves enough to ask for what we need.

Again, not a lot of pictures being taken this week.  But that will definitely change next week.

Focusing on something besides work - had a robotics practice event.  My team's robot is not the one in the picture.

Stopping to appreciate to sunset as I left work.
