Thankful Thursday

This week Thankful Thursday is being hosted by Lynn @ Spiritually Unequal Marriage. Thank you, Lynn for hosting TT this week, while Iris is on vacation.

Also, I work from 8:30 AM to 9:30 PM today and Saturday, and 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM on Friday, so I may not make it by all the participants blogs this week, but I will certainly make it by early next week, when things slow down.

So much to be thankful for… where do I start?

John 3:16 (NASB): “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.

How humbling is it, that Jesus willing came, took our sins upon Himself, and died for us, so that we could have fellowship with the Father? Very humbling. Thank you, to our Triune God, that He loved His creation enough to redeem us.

I am thankful that I have a job where I can invest my life, my friendships with people, and that maybe the seeds I plant with them will bud into a new life in Christ, someday.

I am thankful that I have a job where we all get along and that we pull together when one of us needs something.

I am thankful that this is the last chemo session for my friend Jo. With that, I also pray that her MRI comes back clear, next month.

I am thankful for good Christian fiction.

I am thankful for my friends.

I am thankful for my husband. He is a good man. He is a good husband. He is a good father. I love you, Jim.

I am thankful that we were able to get Moosey a truck, that he can practice driving in, since he gets his licenses in less than 2 weeks.

I am thankful that no matter what, things always end up working out for the glory of the Lord. We may not see it, we may make bad choices along the way, but in the end, God’s will always is accomplished. Oh, what a beautiful thought. (Look for a post about that coming when I have time to type it out.)

Be sure to stop by Spiritually Unequal Marriage and read what others are thankful for this week, and be sure to participate. It is such a blessing to think about what all God has done for us.

    I am thankful I stopped by today. I have visited so many blogs today that I have never been to and it has been a blessing. Your blog is beautiful. I enjoyed reading your list. I have 2 sons that drive and it does take your prayer life up a notch!! :o) I am thankful God protects them as they drive!
    Have a great Thursday!

    Melissa,

    This post really hit me. Your scripture reference and the very thought that God found us and redeemed us. Utterly humbling.

    I loved reading your heartfelt thanks. Thank you for joining in and sharing your praises to our King. Love and hugs, Lynn
