Welcome to Thankful Thursday - August 11, 2011

I will extol the LORD at all times;

 his praise will always be on my lips.

Psalm 34:1

Greetings Sweet Friends,

How is the world treating you today???

Well, I hope!!

If you came by yesterday you know

I wasn't feeling real great yesterday,

which leads me to my number 1 thankful.

#1

I am thankful

to be feeling much much better today!

#2

I am thankful

for prayer, Alleve sinus medication,Vitamins
 B and C, moringa leaves, exercise and rest. 
 Cause I did all of that yesterday.... and
 I feel great today!  lol

#3

I am thankful

for all the rain we have been getting this week,
dreary that it has been,  but great for the lawn
and does bring our temps down somewhat.




#4
I am thankful
for a young friend we have who is doing the
"Love Dare" book, desperately, trying to win
 his wife back.  He is such a sweet kid, course,
 to us, he is a kid, but he is really a man!!  lol
But bless his heart,  he is willing to do what
ever it takes, and has been doing that for
awhile now..........


If you feel so led, please pray the Lord does
 a real work there.  I am so tired of seeing
 good people divorce, and they have 2 innocent
and precious children being devastated in the
wake of it all.....




#5
I am thankful
for the convenience of water in our world.
Water to shower, do dishes, brush your
 teeth, wash your hair, flush your potty,
 water the lawn and plants, and of course,
 to drink and cook with and.... it is right at 
the touch of our fingertips.


Just recently we heard a story about
a little boy in Kenya (I think it was) that
had to walk 4-6 hrs. every day just to 
get buckets of water, but then not only 
did he have to walk all that way, and carry
the water back, he had to wait for hours
 until every one else got their water, because
 he was too little to fight for himself.


His whole day is spent just trying to
survive another day..................


Can you just even imagine that???
Breaks my heart to even think about it!




Oh we are so so blessed in this nation.

#6
I am thankful
for the grace of God and the way He works
in the life of his people.  It is so exciting 
to see the Lord turn someone's life around.




#7
I am thankful
that we got to have a great time with
Dee and Jerry twice this week.




#8
I am thankful
for a cool, mock recipe my daughter 
told me about for making "Chick Fil A's"
chicken salad.  It is delish!


Anybody interested...........
 leave me a comment
and I will share the recipe with you!

Picture from "Life Beautiful" magazine, it is so pretty it
 takes my breathe away!!  




#9
I am thankful
that God is so forgiving, and that he can
help us forgive, even when we feel like we
can't.............he is able, we just
 need to be willing!!




#10
I am thankful
that God loves people so very much, that
he sent Jesus as a gift to us. To save us,
 not to condemn us, but to give us eternal 
life when we pass from this earth,  but also 
to give us a good life, filled with love, joy, 
peace and all the other fruits of the spirit,
 while we are still here on this earth!

#11
I am thankful
I have figured out what to do for my
 daughter DeeAnna's birthday table, and
 gift, since it is coming up the weekend 
after next.  Always makes it easier
 when I figure that out early.




#12
I am thankful
that God is in control of our world....
even at times when it doesn't look or feel 
like it...........He still is on His throne.
What peace and joy that brings to my heart!
