Thankful Thursday

I hope you have had an enjoyable week. Today is the beginning of May and also the National Day of Prayer. Remember to be thankful today (and everyday!) for God's blessings in your life.
Today I am thankful for...
*the dedication of my husband. He has had a very long, tiring week. He keeps going and going, still helping me and playing with our son. I'm sure it would be easy to just go to bed but he doesn't do that!
*our boy who loves to sing. Some days he will sing the same song over and over. It warms my heart to hear him repeat these songs. One day he kept singing "This is the day."
*cool morning breezes and calm rain showers. This morning the windows are open and we can hear the singing birds, feel the coolness, and see a gentle very light rain/mist coming down. Thank You God.
*my friends that I've kept in touch with for many years. Two of them had birthdays this week! They are special parts of my life and I'm glad God has kept us connected even though we live hours apart.
*the hope of eternal life in Heaven. I've heard of several deaths this past week. It is encouraging to hear of the hope and peace the families have knowing their relatives are now home.
Join us for TT at Sting My Heart! Thank you to Iris for continuing TT each week.

3 "When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers—
the moon and the stars you set in place—
4 what are mere mortals that you should think about them,
human beings that you should care for them?
5 Yet you made them only a little lower than God
and crowned them with glory and honor.
6 You gave them charge of everything you made,
putting all things under their authority—
7 the flocks and the herds
and all the wild animals,
8 the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea,
and everything that swims the ocean currents.
9 O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!" Psalm 8:3-9

Thanks for commenting on my post. I read your profile...it could have been written by me. I love Lori Wick and I feel very blessed to be a SAHM. I chose a lucritive career (pharmacist) and I was so afraid it would be hard for my hubby (and me) to walk away from the pay, but it has truly been worth it. I know I am exactly where God wants me to be. I look forward to spending some more time on your blog.

Thanks for the comment and the complements on my son. God truly blessed us. He will be 1 on May 31st. I can't believe it! This year has been so long,short,hard,joyful,exciting,exhausiting...I could go on, but your a mama so you know what I mean. I am not very good at consistency either...that's why I joined first place...I need accountability.
