Thankful Thursday

I am thankful that my depression is lifting. He can forgive us when we mess up, and He is always faithful. When we completely surrender to Him an issue that we were selfishly trying to handle ourselves, He blesses us with the immediate feeling of our burden being lessened. He will not instantly change things, that is where faith comes in. But you no longer feel the burden weighing you down.
I am thankful that I have friends. Life would be so lonely with out them. I have been working outside the house recently. Sad story involved there with a friend being ill, but it has allowed me to get back into the public. To talk with women I have not seen in a while, because I am a home body. I have gotten to reconnect with old friends and it has been great.
I am thankful for online friends. Old and new. I just love it, when God opens your eyes and shows you what treasures you have, right in front of your eyes, and you did not realize it until then. There is one friend of mine, in particular, over at MOF, that I had not even realized how much she had come to mean to me, until this week. It was such a wonderful feeling to realize it.
I am thankful that the transition of my stepping down at MOF will go smoothly. It is a blessing, and a sign from God, that I am doing the right thing.
I am thankful that I am submitting myself to my beloved’s will. It will not be easy. I have not worked outside the home, full time, in a long time. But when I think of all the opportunities I will have to meet new people. Who knows who God will put into my life? It is an exciting journey I am looking forward to! (more about this in another post on another blog to come when I have time to sit and write it)
I am thankful that my son has his driving permit. I am really torn on this, but in the end, I know he has to grow up. I know he has God leading him, guiding him. I know he is a good kid. I know he will make the right choices. Besides he cannot drive on his own until October, right? LOL!
I am thankful that I belong to such a great church and that my pastor is a toe-stepper most of the time. I really feel like I am getting blessed, when my toes are stepped on, and I know I need to grow.
I am thankful for my readers. Love you!

I’m so glad you’re feeling better. He is always faithful but sometimes I forget that myself!
I don’t even want to think about my son driving! ACK!
Thanks for sharing your list!
Blessings~

That’s wonderful that you’re feeling better.
The idea of my daughter driving… well, I’m not ready for that either. At least I have some time.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful list.

I praise God for lifting you up out of your depression, great list.

Oh I to praise God for help with depression, it is a stuggle I deal with also. But God is faithful and with me at all times, even it does not feel like it.
Great list.

What a fantastic list…you do indeed have so much to be thankful for. I pray your depression never returns. I suffered from depression for years and God did indeed deliver me!
Oh, and my youngest is now driving, which is wonderful but it does cause me to pray more for him ?
Hugs to you!

It sounds like God is working very might in your life :)…I know it is hard to get back into the working world. I had been ’sheltered’ for 6 years working in a church–now I am back in the ‘real’ world–what a difference. But I know God wants me there.
I wish our son would finally get his driving permit–he will be 22 in June…
Thank you so much for sharing your thankfulness with us this week.
Blessings to you and yours.

Cute blogskin, and nice list. I especially appreciate the last one about your pastor being a toe-stepper. I so agree!
