I will praise you O Lord my God.

I will glorify your name forever,

you have delivered me from the depths 

of the grave.

Psalm 86: 12 & 13

Morning Sweet Friends

Welcome to Thankful Thursday,
and since I was all prepared for
White Wednesday,  but never got
 to do the post,  figured I would 
just use white Weds. pictures
 and do both!!

So how are you???  and how has 

your week been so far???
Good I hope!

Our week has been tumultous, somewhat disappointing 

and pretty sad,  a myriad of emotions really, 

 yet hopeful and good.

Which brings me to my number one thankful

#1

I am thankful

that my daughter had the wisdom and courage to postpone

her Wedding indefinitely.  Although,  this has been very hard

 and disapppointing , it  truly was a very wise and courageous

 choice on her part and we are very proud of her.

#2

I am thankful

that although this has been hard for both families,  good

things are happening inspite of it,  the Lord is at work,

as always, and we see his hand of blessings, even in this.

#3

I am thankful

for God's sovereign ways.  Last week everything I

tried to work on for the wedding fell apart,  I could

get nowhere and I was incredibly frustrated .  Now

I totally understand...............if I had been able to

I would have sent off three deposits which were non

refundable,  and I would have signed a new contract

 with the hotel which would have made for a much larger 

sum of money.

God going before us once again.........................

#4

I am thankful

for the heart of this young man we will one day call son.........

He truly has a good heart!

#5

I am thankful

that Dee and I have been able to spend the week together,

  it has been good to have her here,  and I hope comforting to her!

#6

I am thankful

for the love of God.  He loves us so much,  and

He loves us enough to allow us to experience hard

 times in order to help us,  not to harm us as

Jeremiah 29:11 says.

#7

I am thankful

that some of my blogging friends missed me this

week,  and were so sweet to write me and ask

if all was okay.  Precious!!

Always nice to be Missed!

#8
I am thankful
for the gift of prayer....................
I have no idea what I would do without it!
What a miserable existence it would be not to be
able to pray,  but worse yet, not to have anyone
to pray to................

#9
I am thankful
that a sweet friend from church, came thru her 2nd knee
 replacement surgery in a month.  God Bless Her!!
and may she heal rapidly,  and do twice as good as
the last time!!

#10
I am thankful
for public servants like policemen, paramedics, Dr. and nurses,
Physicians asst.,  nurses aides, home healthcare workers,
and mental health professionals, counselors and Pastors.
For they help so many people!!
and if you are a public servant and I left you off the list
by accident,  know that I mean YOU too!!

#11
I am thankful
 for Chocolate Elvis's, they are smoothies from planet
 smoothie, particularly in these summer months,  cause they
 cool you off so much,  and are just so refreshing,  a simple
pleasure for sure!!

They have frozen vanilla yogurt, peanut butter, bananas,
chocolate and ice as the ingredients........
  and they are quite Yummy, I must add!!  lol

#12
I am thankful
that as I looked across our yard this morning as I was
outside saying goodbye to hubby,  that our yard looks
so lush, green and beautiful after our mowing it last night!
 God's rain has done a masterful job of resurrecting
it from a dry, parched, hard to keep moist, partially
green partially brown existence.  There are still some
areas that are filling in out back and in the side yard,
But to look at it this morning,  it was so pretty it just
sort of took my breathe away,  almost like a house
and garden picture in a magazine.


So Happy you came by to visit with 
me today, and hope you have


 a
Fabulous Friday and a Wonderful Weekend
My Friends!
