My blogging on a regular basis? Yeah, right! What’s a regular basis? She’s posting everyday sometimes two and three times a day — and not just idle chit chat either. She’s posting some good stuff. So, since I’m not feeling very thankful today and stressing all that I “need” to do — I decided to join in on this Thankful Thursday stuff.
- I am thankful for a wonderful, loving, Godly husband who strives everyday to provide everything we think we need. He works so hard and worries about my daughter and me. I’m thankful God put us together, but more importantly God’s kept us together for over 10 years.
- I am thankful for my healthy, smart daughter even on the days where she talks back to me (she’s only 7 years old). I’m thankful for her many questions about Jesus, about people, and everything in general. She is very smart and understands a lot more than I did at her age.
- I am thankful to 2 loving parents who saw fit to move me to another state (kicking and screaming) when I was 11 — without them, I would not know what I know now nor would I be where I am now. I’m sure I’d be in a not-so-good place had we stayed where we were. I’m thankful for the love that they have shared over the many years of marriage.
- I am thankful for good in-laws who accepted me into their family, who raised a Godly son, and who absolutely adore my daughter. Although they spoil her, she has great opportunities to go and do things with them that she would not otherwise do — or do as often as she does with them.
- I am thankful for my health, Benadryl and Motrin. I truly am blessed if sinus headaches from allergies are the only things I have to deal with health wise.
- I am thankful for my special friend who is growing in the Lord. It’s so very wonderful to see what she’s learning and through “new eyes.” It’s helped me a great deal with my beliefs and faith as well. I’m reminded if we remember to make time to pray, God is faithful in answering those prayers. May not be the answer we want, but oh so many times it has been!
- I am most thankful God sent Jesus to die for me. I am so totally, utterly worthless, but Jesus came anyway. I am thankful that one day I’ll be in heaven and be able to bow at Jesus’ feet and thank Him for everything He’s done for me.
Now I’m feeling better Getting my eyes focused where they needed to be all along. Thanks Heather for posting your Thankful Thursday post! You’re helping me stay accountable
Isn’t it nice to see what we have to be thankful for? And yes, you made my list…probably won’t be the first time…
Oh and the Bible thing? I’m sure there will come a time when I fall apart and you’re on top of things… I think for right now, it’s what providing the calm…
And that’s what I need… 
Enjoyed your list, thanks for sharing.
What a blessed list. I to am thankful Jesus died for me who is worthless with out HIM. Have a wonderful Thursday.
How blessed you and and don’t worry about your runaway friend. God’s loving arms are very long!

I’m glad you decided to write a thankful list to help you feel better. It’s always good to remind ourselves that we really do have a lot to be thankful for even in difficult times. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing your thankful list with us this week…
It is awesome to have a husband that takes care of the all our needs
Sometimes I stand in awe that Christ died for my sins…I some times don’t feel worthy of His sacrifice.
Blessings to your week ahead…
