Welcome to Thankful Thursday - April 14, 2011

(I forgot where I found this.....but isn't it just the cutest
 lil birdie,  love that he is parachuting with a leaf)  lol

I will praise the LORD, who counsels me;
 even at night my heart instructs me.

Psalm 16:7


Good Evening Sweet Friends,

Hope your Thursday has been a good one.

Full of the joy and thankfulness to the Lord!


If not, stay with me and maybe if you are feeling a bit
discouraged or down this post might just pick up your
spirits a bit!  That would be my prayer!!

Well,  our day has been good,  somewhat 
disconcerting but......
#1

I am thankful

that we heard back from hubbies last job interview.

No....it wasn't what we were hoping to hear but the

door is also not completely closed either, he said he

might get back to us in 8-12 weeks!! lol

So.... although that was not what we wanted to hear

 we also know, if it isn't what the Lord has for us, then it

 isn't what we want either, no matter how disappointing,

  so we are just continuing to ask the Lord for His direction. 

 It seems like there are a number of these doors that seem

 to be open but have not yet swung shut either!!

Only the Lord knows what He is up to............

#2

I am thankful

for the mercy of God in keeping our hearts at peace

 with the up and downs of  all these interviewing

processes.  Cause it could be enough to send one

to the funny farm!!

Reminds me of an old song from the late 60's that

said............They are coming to take me away Ho Ho,

they are coming to take me away He He,  Ho Ho,

He He,  to the funny farm, where live if beautiful

all the time!!   lol

and then you hear sirens in the background,  it used

to make us laugh so hard when we heard it!!

Does anyone else remember it???

#3
I am thankful

hubby got a good report at the dentist.

Always happy for good reports from Doctors.

#4

I am thankful

for being able to keep Joey (our grandaughter dog)

most of the week,  these last 3 weeks,  as she will be

 going to a new home permanently this weekend.
She has been visiting there the last few weekends and
seems to be feeling quite at home after last weekend.
So that is good!!

 It really breaks my heart to think we may never see
 her again,  but I know in the long run this really is the best
 thing for her and for all involved!  Cause she will have a
 fenced in yard, and another Jack Russell doggie buddy
 and 2 kids ages 12 and 14 who are already crazy about her,
  the whole family loves her and wants her and will have lots
 of time to spend with her and their other dog.  They like to
 take their dogs to the beach and on walks and to the 
doggie park.  So she has had a ball with them, the
last few weekends.........so think she is gonna be much
happier there,  at least that is our prayers!!
We did offer to babysit should she need someone
to watch her..........so maybe they will take us up
on it sometimes.

#5

I am thankful

hubby got our income tax all done and taken care

of.....we had to pay, but we are just thankful we

had the money to pay them!!  Figure that one
out,  I can't!!  lol

#6

I am thankful

that I may have found the shoes now to go with my 
dress for the Wedding.  They are a pretty satin, open
 toed, champagne colored pumps with a ruffle across the toe.
  Very Pretty!  And found them at Bealls on sale for $35.00!!  

God has been so great getting me these deals.

#7

I am thankful
for a new book that a friend loaned us.  It is a
really neat devotional book called "Jesus Calling",
by Sarah Young.  It is written as if Jesus were speaking to you!
and of course, that's what his word the Bible really is,  a love
letter to you and me!! It is just another great annointed book, 
 that helps keep your mind focused on Him, rather than on
your circumstances.

#8
I am so thankful
for Christian writers that are inspired by the
spirit of God, that use their gift to help others!
What Joy and Help they bring to us!


#9
I am thankful
for our air purifier,  as it really helps keep me
from having stuffiness and headaches during this
Wonderful season of the year that I love so much.



#10
I am thankful
that my friend who sent me the birthday present
on Sunday is coming over to visit tonight!
That is the even better part of the present!!


update,
She just left and we had such a good time
catching up,  she is such a sweetie.


#11
I am thankful
for longtime friends that know you so well,
and know your history and your family and
just everything about you.  It is just so neat!
and such a blessing!!  We have gone thru
many trials together!




#12
I am thankful
we know the Lord and that we have a beautiful 
 family, and home with food in our pantry and 
refrigerator, clothing to wear, cars to drive, a bed
to sleep in, and so much much more...........
God is so good!!
