Thankful Thursday

~ morning texts from my husband when he was on a work trip.

~ our oldest getting to speak to a local group about the non-profit he started and that the TV station did a segment on it. 

~ the sweet things our DIL says to our youngest.  

~ the thoughtfulness of our youngest in getting out his neck fan for me to use so I wouldn't get to hot...(after the event Saturday...see below!)

~ the people that helped me and care for me when I fainted at the concession stand on Saturday.  Their kindness and calmness helped me. It was very scary and something that has never happened to me before.  They think I got too hot.  

~ being able to take our items to the Fair this week and look at the other entries. We enjoy doing this every year.  I entered 3 quilts, my husband entered his breads, and Titus entered some art projects.

~ friends at church that make me smile....both older than me and younger than me. 

Have a day of blessings!

Thankful Thursday

These weeks go by fast.  Titus commented that to me recently about how fast the week was going.  This week I am thankful for...

~ my husband helping give the cat his med.  He would hold it while I put the syringe in his mouth.  Random thing to be thankful for but it would not be something I'd want to figure out myself.  Also the cat has been great about it and his leg is much improved.  

~ that our oldest bravely killed a rattlesnake on Saturday night.  It was outside their camper.  Also I'm thankful no one was bitten by it.  

~ our DIL taking Titus along on the dove hunting.  

~ our youngest telling me his thoughts about how amazing God has made our bodies.

~ the day off Monday was nice.

~ seeing part of a rainbow Wednesday evening.  I always like to see rainbows in the sky.

~ being able to drop off our entries at the fair.  It took a wagon this time!  

Have a day of blessings!

Thankful Thursday

We started a new month this week.  I always like to turn the calendar to a new month.   The weather hasn't changed though even though the "-ber" months started!  

This week I am thankful for...

~ when my husband cooks the bacon for Titus to have for his breakfast. 

~ the time and work our oldest put into the new feed shed for the goats.  

~ our DIL getting to use her ASL to help others.

~ the excitement of our youngest that he gets to bring home his trumpet to practice.  

~ getting a refund in the mail from the quilting company that overcharged me.  I don't know how I missed that when I paid the bill!  

~ serving together as a family at our church's Wednesday night meal we have a couple times a month.  We were off for the summer and started back up again this week.  It was nice to see a big crowd show up for it too.  

~ seeing a tiny hummingbird in the back yard this week.  

Have a day of blessings!

Thankful Thursday

How are you feeling today? Tired, sad, lonely, calm, proud, joyful, weary, loved, content, angry, excited, anxious, happy? Whatever kind of week you are having and however you are feeling, I hope you take a moment to share what is on your thankful list this week.

This week I am thankful for....

~ the support my husband always gives me but how he came to check on me at an unexpectedly emotionally difficult dentist appointment.  

~ some time with our oldest to eat lunch and pick up a vehicle.  

~ our DIL starting her new semester of her master's program.  

~ our youngest getting his new goats to raise to show!  

~ my Mom having a good follow up appointment with the surgeon as she continues to recover.

~ a PTO account mistake being solved.  I was so thankful the previous president was able to figure it out after digging a little into the account.  

~ supportive and encouraging friends and loved ones.  

Have a day of blessings!
