Thankful Thursday

 

Happy Thursday.  I am joining Sonya over at Truth 4 the Journey.  If you would like to participate just click here.  

I have so much to be thankful for but here are 5 for this week.

1.  My husband.  Now I know I list him just about every week, but I am so, so thankful for him for many different reasons but this week I am thankful because he is letting me fulfill a dream that I have been wanting to do for a couple of years now.  I am starting back to school this afternoon and am very nervous, but am also looking forward to it and what God has in store for me.  Thank you Kenny for letting me do this.

2.  My in-laws.  They will be picking up my oldest daughter from school on Thursdays while I am at school and keep both kids until my husband can get home from work to take over.

3.  Friends.  With my new endeavor this week, my friends have been so awesome just giving me encouragment.  That means a lot.

4.  Warmer temperatures.  It is not much warmer but better than we were.  It has been so cold and we have been having to drip water for weeks now in order to keep the pipes from freezing.  It is finally get up above freezing so we don't have to do this as often.  Being from Arkansas, I am just not used to these frigid temperatures.

5.  My health.  I have had a few bad headaches this weeks and it has really made me appreciate that I am healthy and don't know what I would do if I wasn't able to function and do the daily things I do if I wasn't in good health.

Thankful Thursday

Today is Thankful Thursday.  If you would like to participate just join Sonya over at Truth 4 the Journey and list 5 things you are thankful for this week.

I have had a bit of a disappointing week but still have a lot to be thankful for and I know that God has a plan for me.

1.  Even though I didn't get the job that I applied for, I am still thankful that I do have a job.  I know there are so many people that don't have a job and really need one.  So I am thankful for what I do have.

2.  My husband.  We have had some record low temperatures this week and a very low windchill factor and my husband has been outside everyday this week when he gets home from work making sure that our house is ready for such cold temperatures.  I know there are people that don't have a warm place to stay.

3.  My Sparkies on Wednesday nights.  I was down in the dumps on Wednesday and was not looking forward to going to AWANA.  I just wanted to stay home and wallow in my sorrows and I was so thankful that I went because they were such a blessing to me.

4.  Gas.  Most everything we have runs off gas including our heat, so if we lose power, at least we will still be warm.  I won't be able to blog or FB, but I think I can live without them for a couple of days at least, lol!!

5.  Blog friends.  I ran across someones blog this week that had a Bible verse that I really needed to hear and fit the situation I was going through at the time.

So, what are you thankful for this week?
