Thankful Thursdays

This week, as I reflect on what I'm thankful for, I find that it is vast and covers many areas.

1. Heat. With the cold weather and harsh winds, it is so nice to walk into a warm office every morning.

2. Second Chances. It is God's grace and mercy alone that gave us all a second chance at life. But, at 3 Dimensional Life, we see young men (and soon young women!) hungry for a second chance at life, too. A life that is free of drugs and alcohol.

3. Taking a Moment to Take it In. Wow, that is a mouthful, isn't it? Lately, things have been so fast paced, changing and improving, that, as a staff, we are getting tired. While we LOVE everything that is happening, there is a lot and it can be difficult to take it in. So, in the meantime we are cherishing the little things: fresh paint in the office. An interview room. A smooth driveway. Daily evidence of how God is moving. Those reminders help us push forward with renewed energy.

4. Hope. This is something that we cling to daily. Parents cling to hope for their son's recovery. Students cling to hope because it takes a lot more courage to stick out a program.
