Thankful Thursday May 1st, 2025, Happy May and Happy National Day of Prayer

First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.                          1 Timothy 2:1-2

Welcome to May....Sweet Friends,

Can't believe we are entering May but

Very excited that this is the National

 Day of Prayer for our nation.

I totally believe in prayer and

that  God hears every prayer even

when it doesn't seem like it or 

we don't get an answer right away.

Hope you are gonna participate in

it, either at home or at church.

Your prayers are important to

our nation, for sure.  Every year

I like to watch what happens after

the National day of prayer and you

can see good things happening for 

months afterwards, and it makes

 me wish we had it more than once

 a year. Course, we can have those

 results still..... if we are all 

 committed to pray for our leaders

and nation daily ourselves!!

On with my Thankfuls.....

#1 and 2

I am thankful for the national day

of prayer every year, and I am

 thankful for the gift of prayer

and what a blessing it is....and the

peace that it brings to my life

and the lives of others.

#3

I am thankful for our church that we

have been a part of for almost 45 + years,

 and all the churches across our country

 and in other countries across the globe.

#4

I am thankful first and foremost for

The Father, His  Son, Jesus and Holy Spirit

 who is the reason for the church,  prayer

and the Bible in the first place.

#5

Thankful for the Bible and the truth,

teachings and guidance that it brings to

 our lives every time we read or hear it.

#6

Thankful for our President and Vice

President and their families and

 administration.  Thankful too,  for 

what  great leaders they are and that they

take their job of protecting the Constitution

 and the American People seriously, as well, 

as trying to keep peace in the world. 

Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no  authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.” – Romans 13:1

#7

Thankful for the Presidential pray team,

 that helps us to know what and who to pray

 for on a daily basis, as our country needs

 all the prayers it can get.

Thankful for grocery stores,

 especially Publix, Walmart neighborhood,

 and Aldi.........Some people really disdain 

going there, but I have always enjoyed

going grocery shopping, if I am not having

 to rush. That tends to take the fun out

 of it for me, anyway!

#9

Thankful hubby found those new

Wedding flower hydrangeas online

today and they were a really good

price, so we were able to order

2 and get free shipping.  They

will arrive on Wed., so hoping

they look good! They don't have

them at any of the nurseries in our

area so you have to order them if

you want them.

Note: they arrived today, and they look

 pretty good just a lil bit wilty, but it was

 hot in that box I am sure.  So we are

gonna baby them and ease them into

the potting and the sun, so as not to

shock them too much. Can't wait

to see them bloom which will be

a bit I would imagine.

     These aren't them, but just another one like them.

#10

Thankful we were able to attend

 the installation service for our

 Two  Co- Pastors  It was a really

a lovely service and everyone

loves them both so much.  The Lord 

has really blessed our church with

these Two Godly young men ( they

are in their early 40's) but young

 to us!  lol    Also with their lovely

 wives, and family.  All of their

 children are musically inclined, which

 is so amazing. One Pastor has three

 children, the other has five children.

What a blessing they all are!!

#11

Thankful that I made Chicken salad

last week, and it was so great to just

have it in the fridge for snacking.

So decided I am gonna do this weekly

and just rotate between, Chicken,

Ham, Tuna and Egg salad. It was

really so handy and made for a great

go to,  that made us happy.  lol

Note:  Not too crazy about the

ham salad, so will probably

take that off the rotation.  lol

#12

 Thankful that I was able to get a

Prayer checklist for America from

the Presidential prayer team for

today.  If you wish to get one you

can go to the above address on #7

and should be able to find one.

#13

Thankful that we saw 2 bunnies in our

backyard yesterday morning, and 2 squirrels

all out and having breakfast and running

around.  So Cute!!  We love that we have

woods around us, cause we so love

and enjoy the wildlife.

Not them, but looks like them!!  lol
