Thankful Thursday: Victory

I'm so glad it is time again for Thankful Thursday! Lynn (at Spiritually Unequal Marriage) has chosen victory for the theme this week. Isn't it wonderful that we have the victory! Jesus is our victory everyday.

Today I am thankful for so many things.

~ my husband feeling so much better. He is doing great after his surgery last week. He still gets tired easily but he is healing and feeling more normal.

~ my little boy and seeing his concern and thoughtfulness towards others.

~ some exciting news I'll share probably next week (no not pregnancy just thought I better insert that there for anyone who thinks that is it!)

~ finding old friends, including former teachers, on Facebook!

~ comfortable car to travel.


I received this poem in an email and it is perfect to share today

DEAR GOD:

I want to thank you for what you have already done.
I am not going to wait until I see results or receive rewards,
I am thanking you right now.

I am not going to wait until I feel better or things look better,
I am thanking you right now.

I am not going to wait until people say they are sorry or
Until they stop talking about me,
I am thanking you right now.

I am not going to wait until the pain in my body disappears,
I am thanking you right now.

I am not going to wait until my financial situation improves,
I am going to thank you right now.

I am not going to wait until the children are asleep and
The house is quiet,
I am going to thank you right now.

I am not going to wait until I get promoted at work or
Until I get the job,
I am going to thank you right now.

I am not going to wait until I understand every
Experience in my life that has caused me pain or grief,
I am going thank you right now.

I am not going to wait until the journey gets easier or
The challenges are removed.
I am thanking you right now.

I am thanking you because I am alive,
So I may continue being your vessel
I am thanking you because I made it through the day's difficulties.
I am thanking you because I have walked around the obstacles.

I am thanking you because I have the ability
And the opportunity to do more and do better.
I am thanking you because you have not given up on me.

Please don't wait....
Let's Thank HIM Right Now
