Welcome to Thankful Thursday - March 9, 2011

 I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart;

 I will tell of all your wonders.

 I will be glad and rejoice in you;

 I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.

Psalm 9:1-2

Good Evening Sweet Friends,


What's been happening in your
world this week???  Something
good, something interesting,
something fun, something that
blessed your socks off!


Sure hope so!!


Have to say we have had a blessed week,
 with a lil bit of not so good yesterday,
that turned into something great!

So that would bring me 
to my 
#1
 thankful


I am thankful
for marital conflict - that was our not so good day, 
yesterday, that turned into something great.  None
of us likes conflict, do we???.....unless we are...  how 
shall I say this.... emotionally not well..........lol,  but conflict
 is inevitable in any relationship and quite necessary for
 building intimacy and passion in a relationship, and if we 
are looking to the Lord to find out what He has to teach
us through it..........we can say we are thankful for the
results of conflict especially!  Sometimes it is like
a purging and just a needing to be really heard by
 each other and understand where each other is
coming from.......that happened last night,  and
all is better than well on the western front,  I am 
happy to report!!

#2

I am thankful for the sweet fellowship we had

with our friends that visited this passed week.
  Truly a Blessing!

#3

I am thankful

for the healing power of God in the life of our friend

that visited this week, who exhibits no signs of a 
stroke whatsoever.

Truly Amazing!

#4

I am thankful

once again for the book Bonnie (over at One Designing

 Woman) gave me.  Jim and I are so enjoying it, and it really

 spoke peace to our hearts on Tuesday, because we were 

a lil disappointed we still haven't heard about the job yet...

 but we were so blessed that the Lord kept this chapter we

read just for that day!  The amazing grace of God's

timely encouragement...priceless!

This really is a great book, so thought

I would post a pic just in case anyone

would like to read it!!  We highly

recommend it!!

#5

I am thankful 

for a fun day out Tuesday to celebrate Jim's Birthday

 and dinner at Cracker Barrel on Jerry,  Dee's fiancee,

 via gift cards for christmas!!

  Sweet!!

#6

I am thankful

for God's divine appointments and his stretching us

 beyond our comfort zone.....

It Equals Growth!!

#7

I am thankful

we finally got over to the mall to get Jim's tux measurements

done.  I know poor Megan is singing the hallelujah chorus,

as the Wedding is getting closer all the time.

#8

I am thankful

Scott is working on reviving our grass, he has fertiilized twice

now, and will do something else this weekend when he comes,

 and it hasn't cost us a penny!  The yard is getting greener and

longer by the day...... we will need to mow soon!! lol

But what a  precious blessing from our son, and provision

 from our Heavenly Father!

#9

I am thankful

for my daughter's thoughtfulness and practicalness in

 deciding to give her Dad a gift card so he can use it to

 pay for his Tux for the wedding. 

A precious gift from our daughter, and more provision

from our Lord.

#10

I am thankful

for this time, and the other times we have experienced

 lay offs,and all that it has taught us, how it has grown

 our faith in Christ, and all the creative ways the Lord

 has provided for us.  He is so able.

Truly Awesome and Amazing!!

I am thankful

that our friends (Jessica from Jewels for the Journey,

and her sweet hubby)  arrived safely at their new 

destination and are busily setting up housekeeping

as he starts his new job on Monday.

May God Bless every detail!!  and they will sure

be missed,  but they aren't too far away,  so that

is good!!

much to be thankful for as well.
