Thankful Thursday

Today is Thankful Thursday. I am glad I have computer access to participate this week! I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas. I hope you are enjoying a special time with family and loved ones.

Today I am thankful for...

~ my husband having time off from work.

~ having my boy out of school on his Christmas vacation! I loved having him with me as I ran errands Monday.

~ our new home. I went last Friday and worked on cleaning windows and baseboards. Over the weekend we (meaning my husband and a little help from Caleb!) painted two bedrooms...one was a bright purple and the other was a bright blue. He is done with the purple one and will work to finish the blue one in the next few days. I love being there and it already feels like home! I'm so thankful for God giving us this dream come true!

~ getting one of these for Christmas from my Mom. She told me a while back I hope you all can use what I got you for Christmas. At the time we were between homes, but she knew we would eventually use it! I'm excited to try it out!

~ the fun traditions and memories of past Christmases as well as looking forward to new traditions in our new home.

Have a day of blessings!

Bethany, I'm so glad to read that you now have computer access. I've missed you but I have also not been as visible online lately. I've been working full time so my time is a bit more limited. But I wanted to stop by and wish you a wonderful Christmas with your family.

I'll have to catch up on your new home too. :)

Blessings and love,
Debbie

Merry Christmas to you too! My home isn't new any more, but I'm thankful for the cozy roof over my family's head too. Lovely post today!

Mery, Merry Christmas, Bethany!
It sounds like you are really enjoying being in your home at last, & I'm sure it's a joyful (though probably tiring) kind of busy!
What a nice gift from your Mom!
Wishing you & your family a Blessed Christmas & much happiness in the new year!
