Thankful Thursday
Thursday, September 2, 2010 at 06:50PM This week I am thankful to have been invited to submit my work to be considered for inclusion in a new Calligraphy instructional book that is going to be published early in 2011. I doubt very much whether they select my work, but I am grateful to have been contacted out of the blue and invited. It's been a tough week for me, calligraphically. I'm working on a stubborn piece and have honestly begun to question whether I can ever figure out how to get it to all work together, so this was a nice encouragement.
I'm thankful even for the tough assignments because I always end up learning something, even if that might be to consider saying "no" from time to time. **grin** But in this case, the client is such a nice guy and the gift is for his wife for their anniversary, so I'm going to find a way to make it work.
I'm thankful, too, that Jake's series of Doctor's appointments are starting next week and, hopefully, we'll have some answers soon. It's been hard for him to be off work this long, especially since he has felt so tired and ill the whole time.
I'm especially thankful that even though the possibility of more defibrillations, both necessary and unnecessary, have been a concern over the past two months, he hasn't had to be defibrillated. That is a great relief!
I'm thankful for the peace that passes understanding that comes from knowing Christ.
I'm joining my friend, Kim from the Upward Call, and others in giving thanks to God on Thursdays in 2010. Won't you join us?

How wonderful, Kim! I'm glad you've been honored in such a nice way, and I won't be surprised a bit when they include your work in the book.
I hope and will pray that Jake's appointments are helpful and that he will be feeling better soon.
I'll pray for Jake, Kim. I hope he's feeling better soon.
Way to go! Your work is beautiful!
Congratulations, Kim, on the honor regarding your work. How awesome! And add me as another who will be praying for Jake.
