Thankful Thursday



I feel very thankful this week. It was nice to be home more and have a less rushed pace than we've had the past two weeks.
This week I'm thankful for...
*my husband putting up the dishes for me as I washed. He's done this twice this week, and it made me smile the next morning to see I didn't have any to put up as I started my day.
*my funny boy and his laughter. He has been telling stories and then laughing at himself. I love hearing his laugh!
*my vacuum. (See Wednesday's post!!)
*the beautiful blossoms I've seen this week. I noticed our peach tree in the backyard with many blossoms appearing on it.
*my sweet Mom. Her birthday was this week. I'm thankful for her love, her physical health, and her care for me and my family. She is special and we love her very much!

What are you thankful for today? It isn't hard to find a bunch of things if you start looking. Other thankful Thursday participants can be found by visiting Iris.

I hope you and your family have a blessed Easter. That is one more thing, the greatest thing of all, to be thankful for this week....our Risen Savior.

"The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: 'He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.' Now I have told you." Matthew 28:5-7

A husband who helps with the dishes is definitely worthy of a thankful post! That kind of thing makes me smile too! Loved hearing your list. Happy Easter!

I'm thankful that tonight we are having a family get-together with my parents and all my sisters and our families, whoever is able to be there. We've decided to start doing this once every month or two instead of only at Christmas and Thanksgiving.

Yes - His resurrection is the biggest blessing we can receive.

Thank you so much for sharing your grateful heart with us.
