Thankful Thursday

Thankful Thursday

8 Mar

I’m really late with this today, but hey–at least it’s still Thursday, right? I have no idea where the rest of this week went! If you find it, will you send it to me?

Have I told you how much I enjoy linking up at Red Oak Lane for these posts? Reading others’ Thankful posts is inspiring and just plain fun! If you haven’t visited Theresa before, I would highly encourage it. (And today’s a great day to do it because of a special birthday–hint, hint.)

This week, I am especially thankful for

  • The very unique retreat my husband is on this weekend
  • Reading through Nehemiah–what an example of a motivational leader!
  • Baby carrots and almonds for lunch
  • A cleaned out garage–thanks to my hard-working husband
  • The Yellow-Ribbon pre-deployment event we got to attend, which included lodging and a swimming pool
  • Challenges that stretch me
  • A Kitten that entertains
  • Conversations around the dinner table that dissolve into silliness and laughter
  • A chance to talk to my dad on the phone
  • Reading Book 3 of the Wingfeather Saga out loud to my girls
  • Well-established early morning routine

I hope you can find things, large and small, to be thankful for today.

    I’ve just been catching up on your blogs from a week or so ago. I think the verses you posted must have been meant for me. I’ve updated my Xanga blog recently but haven’t had a chance to post anything on my WordPress blog. If you can get on to Xanga, will you go and check. We are dealing with some difficult times these days, and I would appreciate your prayers.

    Thinking of you as you face your husband’s deployment.

      I’ll try and get on there and read. I’m sorry things have been difficult for you recently. Even if I can’t get on Xanga, I’ll be praying for you!
