Thankful Thursday

Another wonderful Thursday. I am a very thankful woman today. I am thankful for:

• A sweet loving husband who sends flowers because he's "Thinking of me"
• A wonderful bible fellowship on Wednesdays that renews my strength for the rest of the week.
• A sweet family that opens their home every week for praising, teaching, singing and worshiping. That same family welcomed me to stick around after fellowship to laugh at some pictures and videos. It was so cozy crowding around the computer to giggle and chat.
• Blessings and prosperity God continually pours out on me and my family.
• Airplanes - so I don't have to wait longer for DH to get home.
• Dave Ramsey for his encouragement and directness to help us manage our finances better.
• A teaching that reminded me to focus on God and not bring Him down to my level but take my thinking up to His.
• All my blogging friends who encourage and entertain.

Thanks to Sting My Heart for hosting Thankful Thursday.

Thankful Thursday

Wow, this one is going to be tough. I had a rough day yesterday and it has been a difficult few months. I know that writing down those things I'm thankful for will help me handle life in the best way I know how.

I am thankful for:

• A minister with great insight who lets the love of God show through all he does. His sharing last night really hit home;
• A wonderful group of friends and fellow believers to fellowship with and learn with;
• A sweet and loving husband who is willing to hear my fears and address them with the Word, no matter how much I resist (I tend to want to mope);
• Scriptures that are deep inside my heart that only need a quick reminder (from DH or myself) "Romans 8:1, darling;"
• A mother who will take the time to pray with me when DH is in a meeting and God seems so far away;
• Fresh peaches, ripe for eating;
• A cat who, despite his faults, entertains and snuggles when he senses I need it;
• Lungs to take deep breaths;
• A reliable car with a radio that blasts when I need to stay alert and awake;
• Golden Oldies to sing really loud to;
• Thankful Thursday to remind me to breath with those lungs and pray with my understanding and leave the rest in His hands.

Wow, so much deeper than I thought it would be. I think it's just what I needed. Thanks to Sting My Heart for hosting Thankful Thursday.
