Gratitude Journal For The Week of 6/20/2022
A Church I follow has an app (Crossroads Anywhere) where we journal together as a community, and one of the things we journal about are things we are thankful for. I wrote these for this week's prompts from the app....

"Think of your friend. Why are they special?"
Our family friend is special for many reasons. She is a very talented artist and writer, and she also has a big heart, and a great love for her family and friends (we are blessed to be in her circle). She is especially great with our kids, and they are blessed to have her as an aunt. We have been enjoying a visit from her as she pursues teaching opportunities close by.
