Thankful Thursday: Random heart

Today Lynn at Spiritually Unequal Marriage who is hosting Thankful Thursday this week has posted a thoughtful Thankful Thursday post about the wonderfulness of our blogging community. I have to agree with her!

I am so thankful to have been blogging these past couple of years. It is great to have developed these relationships with others even though we've never met in person. I enjoy so many different blogs for a variety of reasons. I am encouraged, challenged, and humored as a Christian, wife, and mom. I've been blessed by your prayers and concerns for our family through various events we've gone through together. This is a wonderful community we have, and I'm thankful to God for it.

Other things I'm thankful for this week are:

~ the success of my hubby's tonsillectomy. He is recovering. It has made me feel such love for him to be able to care for him as he recovers.

~ my sweet boy and his willingness to help. He has a helper attitude about him. He shows great care for his Daddy as he has played quietly, given plenty of hugs and kisses, and talked in a soft voice to check on him.

~ my wonderful Mom. It was so wonderful she could come be with us the past few days. We miss her now that she went home! When I told her a while back of when the surgery would be, I asked if she'd be able to come and am so thankful she did. Her love for me and my family is a blessing for which I'm continually thankful.

~ hearing birds singing. This week a couple different times when I've been outside I've noticed birds sitting up on the power lines. I have paid attention to the songs they are chirping. It is such a pleasant noise to hear them sing.

~ being able to take an online course for continuing ed. hours.

Are you feeling thankful today? I hope so! Thank you for stopping by and being my blog friend. You are appreciated!
