Some days, thankful words flow easily.
But not always is it that way.
This week has been a tired and anxious kind of week, and I’ve struggled. But, searching for the good is a discipline that helps lift me beyond myself.
Today, I am grateful for
- Friends who prayed when I cried, “Help!”
- A successful tae kwon do testing for my youngest (she’s moving towards 2nd degree black belt)
- Going with my oldest to get her ears pierced!
- A short but sweet visit with my aunt
- A husband who just stands still and hugs me when nothing else helps
- Simply Salted microwave popcorn
- The boxes, bags, and string that make cheap cat toys
- Soft, comfy sweats
- Protection from the destructive wind (not even a tumbling trampoline!)
- Poignant memories from pictures taken many years ago
I hope you can find things, large and small, to be thankful for today.
Sweet and simple are the best! It is an honor to pray with and for you 🙂
Thank you my friend.
Friend, you continue to amaze me. How you can find thanks through the trials…
I agree with Aurie. It’s an honor to pray for you!
Thank you. I am blessed by knowing you!
I third that whole it being an honor to pray for you thing.
You have never been far from my thoughts this week. SO grateful that you are in my life.
I am very grateful for you, my friend.
husband hugs at that moment are the best.
They most certainly are! I’m so glad you stopped by today!
I am here praying for and with you, as well! 🙂
Thank you so much Lisa. That means a lot to me!
Sorry your week was a *tired and anxious* one Lisa. Not fun! Continue to look to the LORD. HE alone can sustain and give lasting peace and comfort.
On another note…your list is lovely. I must get me a pair of those comfy sweats. 😉
Blessings,
Camille (Isaiah 26:3-4)
Thank you for your words and encouragement. I always enjoy hearing from you Camille!
I agree sometimes when I start to think about my thankful post I have a harder time than others. Then all of the sudden it starts to hit me that it doesn’t have to be the big things, in fact usually its the little ones.
Love the cat toys. Same here. 🙂
Little things can be so important!
I’m so glad you stopped by today.
Sorry to hear that you have had an anxiety-filled week. I hope this coming week is better and I will keep you in my prayers. Actually, I am sorry that I wasn’t aware of this sooner to lift you up earlier. It’s been a busy week and I have not been on line much.
Thank you for linking up!
Thank you for your concern and your prayers! You could continue to pray throughout this next week too–I wouldn’t mind that one bit! : )
Glad you guys are all safe from the crazy weather! Even happier that the prayers are going heavenward for you and you’re getting some peace. Love you and continuing to pray!
