I hope your week has been full of blessings. Is it easy for you to find blessings in your life? Take a minute to look around and see how many blessings surround you daily!
This year I'm going to try to post something that goes with the theme Iris chooses for each week. I may not do this every week, but I thought it'd be fun as a way to change up my TT posts a bit!
The theme this week is Precious Words. I am thankful for God's Word to us. This year I am trying to study the Bible in a new way by picking a theme and then reading definitions of the words and finding verses related to that theme. The first one I did was about the fear of the Lord. I'm thankful for what I gained by reading these scriptures. One thing I noticed was in how many of these references the command was to fear the Lord first and second serve Him (example Joshua 24:14). There must be a tie between fearing Him and serving Him.
This week I am also thankful for...
~ my husband leading FPU at our church. We start on Monday and are excited!
~ my son's love of books and excitement to get to go to the food pantry today after being off for a couple of weeks due to the holidays.
~ our warm home.
~ changing Texas weather. We had sunshine and temperatures in the 70's on Saturday. Monday morning there were icicles in our trees!
Thanks for stopping by today on Thankful Thursday! I would also like to invite you to visit tomorrow for "As long as it is called Today..." God bless your day!

"Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God." Colossians 3:15, 16

We had that same crazy weather in our little corner of Texas, too! I guess it's true what they say, "If you hang around long enough, you'll get the kind of weather you want!" :)
Happy Thankful Thursday!
Wonderful list of thankfuls! You and I had the same weather this weekend and Monday...really weird! I'm in Arkansas...so I guess, I can blame Texas for sending it our way. LOL!
Happy TT!
praising God with you for His wonderful blessings.
That is a very constructive way to learn. Happy tt.
I live in Florida and I to love the changing weather. Awesome that you are leading FPU! I love the fact I can read a familiar scripture at a different time in my life and the Holy Spirit teaches me something new.
Have a wonderful Thursday.
May God bless your studying His Word. I know He will! I love having a theme, don't you? Mine right now is prayer. I truly enjoyed your post. Have a Happy Thankful Thursday!
Good morning Bethany!
I loved your TT post. I am still praying for your and your husband and the FPU class. I hope it is blessing each family...I just know it will.
I love your thankful heart my friend.
Happy Thursday to you! Hugs.
Wow! From 70's to icicles.....sounds like around here. We had warm weather one day and then really cold (like 20's) the next! This is the first time I've been to your blog. It's beautiful!
Hope you have a great week!

Great post! I'd take Texas weather any day. We are so cold here in the north...and covered in snow too.
Great post. It's awesome your son loves books. That is so helpful later on in school. God bless you and your family!
Scripture is so vital to our day. I love to read your thankful list and how blessed you are by your husband's spiritual leadership.
