Thankful Thursday

I really cannot believe how soon it will be Thanksgiving! Where has the time gone? I was thinking of plans for Caleb's lesson themes. I thought I had a couple more weeks and then we would do Thanksgiving stuff. Wrong! It will be one week of Thanksgiving and then the actual Thanksgiving week!
This week I give thanks for...
*my husband verbalizing his appreciation for me. It always makes my heart soar when he tells me thanks me for something, even something little that I've done.
*my little son's funny comments that make me laugh. Last night I asked him if he wanted more tater tots. He told me they were yucky. I said Caleb! He said, "Thank you for cooking this for me Mommy" in a sweet little voice!
*the extra $30 we received for participating in a Nielsen survey. This was unexpected. I participate in a few different survey programs and only get $1--$5 usually. It was fun to get this $30 to just record what TV we watch for a week. (That won't be hard considering we barely ever turn on the TV!)
*good deals I found this week at Walgreen's. I was able to buy several items on sale for holiday baking, and it is fun for me to get in the "holiday spirit."

*being able to teach a Wednesday night class. I always learn something myself from the lessons and the children.

Have a great day! You can read more thankful posts by visiting Crystal this week.

"And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him. Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness." Colossians 2:6,7

WOW! It would be a blessing for me if $30 showed up at my door......I so need to do some of those survey's -- unfortunately, I've never found any that pay me.
Have a blessed weekend.
