Welcome to Thankful Thursday - December 17, 2009

(Merry Christmas My Friends From Jo Bear)

*

And Merry Christmas from Me too!

*

Hope your day is going well and Sweet!

Mine has been productive thus far,  mailed

out some cards, making some cards and getting

some gifts ready to deliver soon.

*

Got a lot done yesterday as well,  so am

writing down any and everything I can think

of that needs to be done yet.

*

Pacing......................myself!  Yeah,  sounds

good,  doesn't it!  I am hoping I have paced

well once next week gets here!

*

It is amazing how much stuff you can forget

that needs to be done yet!  lol

Anybody else have that problem!!

*

Just took a break to exercise for 30 mins.,

now I am energized,  but ready for lunch!

We ate a late breakfast (see yesterdays post)

That was it!!  lol

Hubby just tried it for 1st time and loved it!

Knew he would.

*

Guess I had better get on with Thankful

Thursday before I write a book here. lol

#1

I am thankful hubby and I are feeling so

much better,  still haven't shook the

cough yet but we feel great!

#2

I am thankful for the Lovely Contata

our church had last Sunday,  it was

truly a highlight of the Christmas Season

for us,  and I keep thinking  and singing to myself

 some of the songs they sang that were so beautiful.

#3

I am thankful for our Music Minister and

his wife,  they are such a great team,

and did such an awesome job on the

Contata,  and every Sunday really!

#4

I am thankful that my Dad passed away

as a Christian.  His birthday was on Dec.

15th,  and I got to thinking about him,

(He passed away about 15 yrs. ago)

and how great it was that He came to

know the Lord just 3 months before he

passed.  God is soooo good!

#5

I am thankful for God's answer to our

prayers for his salvation as we prayed

for 14 years!  Never give up praying,

God is faithful!!

#6

I am thankful that our Sweet Friend

Lois over at "Walking on Sunshine"

has had God bless her and her family

with their hubby and dad being home

with them till after Christmas!

Then he will be going to Afghanistan

for a year.  Be sure to pray for them!

What a sacrifice.

#7

I am thankful for all of our choirs at

church.  Children's,  teen's and Adult's,

and also the drama team and handbell

choir and the others that worked hard

to do a lot of extra things, some in the

program,  some behind the scenes;

Thanks for your sacrifice and hard

work to put on such a wonderful

presentation for us all to enjoy and

be inspired by.  It was truly delightful!

#8

I am thankful to see my daughter

having fun at work and making

a brocoli casserole to take in

for a luncheon today.  It was so

cute.... that is one of the things

she has always made when we

are cooking  together for special

meals. Nice to see her using her

culinary skills for others to enjoy!

#9

I am thankful that the Lord has

made me with a desire to be creative

in a number of ways,  one of which

is making my own greeting cards,

cause it brings me much enjoyment.

I am presently working on cards

for my family and am happy with

the way they are turning out!

#10

I am thankful that at this point I am

not feeling a bit stressed out,  and

am enjoying the season very much.

#1l

I am thankful that I am getting to

go visit a dear friend of 26 yrs

tonight,  I always enjoy seeing

her when I can.....she works in

the day time so we don't get

together as much as we'd like!

#12

I would be remiss if I didn't say

Most of All............

I am thankful for Jesus,  cause I don't

know where I would be without Him!

He is the Best Friend anyone could

ever have,  no one loves you as much

as He does!
