Thankful Thursday: Courage

This week Laurie chose Courage as our Thankful Thursday theme.

When I first read the word I too thought of the "Wizard of Oz" movie. I thought of things like the courageous battle so many fight against cancer. Another was the courage to stand up for Jesus. I also thought of a song with this verse.

"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." Deuteronomy 31:6

I am reminded that God is with us in whatever we face. It doesn't matter if it's big or small. He will give us courage to say what we need to say. He will give us courage to do what we need to do without fear. He will give us courage to stand for right when all around us people are choosing evil. I am thankful He is with me in hard situations and gives me courage when I need it.

Other things I'm thankful for this week:

~ My husband coming home early. He had an appointment Wednesday afternoon and was home early. It turned out to be perfect timing. He fixed supper while I fixed a cake to take to a lunch on Thursday. When he took over the supper preparations in the kitchen it made me feel like I was going to finish my tasks. I did and the supper was excellent too.

~ My sweet son who is growing up so fast. This week he learned to tie his shoes. Next week we go sign up for kindergarten.....

~ Our upcoming trip to San Antonio. We are looking forward to this time together.

~ The beautiful rain we've received. I've loved the coolness and the sound of the rain this week.

~ My two sweet friends who've had birthdays this week...Casey and Steph. Both are special friends in my life!

Hope you have a blessed day! Thanks for visiting today.
