Thankful Thursday

Happy September! This week we are at Grace Alone. Please join us!

We have so much we should be thankful for. Many times we don't stop and give thanks though, do we? That's why I like Thankful Thursdays. It causes me to stop and reflect. I normally limit my list to 5 things, but I could easily go on and on!

This past week for example....
I saw in the newspaper a photo of a fire at an apartment complex. It was the same complex where I had looked to possibly rent. It made me feel thankful that we weren't there. I don't know which apartment it was but seeing that photo made me thankful to be here where we are now.

This week I am thankful for...
~ the sweet care of my sweet husband when I had a headache Monday night. He massaged my head and that helped me relax. I love his gentle touch and caring ways. He was truly concerned about me.

~ a special feeling I had from a shared moment with my sweet boy as he whispered a secret in my ear, turned back and said "don't tell anyone" and then ran up the sidewalk to school with a smile on his face. It makes me smile to think of that little moment. Another moment with him....this week he came to my bedside one morning and whispered "Good morning my precious little sunshine." It made my day! I wake him up like that some mornings, so it was cute to hear him say that to me!

~ All the lessons God is teaching us in this time for our family! I think I could write a book about all of this! He is faithful as we wait on Him....cause really that is what we are doing. I really am thankful for the things that have happened and how they've happened.

~ The fun of a Friday night football game! Seeing all the fans, watching the cheerleaders, hearing the band....I like the feeling of that excitement that fills the air at the start of a new season.

~ Lunch with my forever friend. It's been a few weeks since we've been able to get together. I enjoy seeing her and catching up.

Have a day of blessings!
