A Cup of Tea With Me

Ok, lets see if I can actually get this typed out this time. LOL! I have sat down to do this 4 times so far.

1. I am thankful to God first and always. His creation. His perfect plan. His perfect will.

2. Boog. His uncanny way to always make me smile.

3. The owner of the “smoothie place” in our mall, for GIVING us a 6 month old male Miniature Schnauzer.

4. Buddy - our new puppy for making Boog smile.

5. Pepper for tolerating the puppy and being such an awesome dog. She is top dog in this house.

6. DH for changing his mind about “not being down with the name Buddy” once he heard that it was Boog that named him that.

7. Dr. Price for actually talking to me and sending me to a new Rhumatologist (sp?).

8. Dr. Pocurull for talking to me like I am sane. Explaining things to me. Actually caring.

9. The technician who took my blood work, 2 days in a row, and actually talked to me during the second visit. It was a long one and it was great to be treated like a person, not just a blood bag.

10. The love and support of my friends and family, while we go through all this testing.

11. My boss. She is wonderful. When she met Buddy, yesterday, she was as excited for us, as if we had just had a new baby.

12. I cannot comment on it, yet. I have a hard time reading it. After 10 years the pain is still great, but I just love TK’s new blog. Thanks, Teri for writing it. This will be amazing support for those who have lost a child.

13. Being able to read all the great blogs that my friends write. Being able to blog and share things like this meme, and my joy over Buddy and the Drs.

You should write your own list of 13 things you are thankful for on Thursdays, and head over to Becki’s Walk to sign her Mr. Linky.

It is that time again. I just love this meme. I think it is great that Becki combined two great ideas and gave us my favorite meme. So, without further ado, my list:

1. First and always, I am thankful to God. Our Creator and Savior (I really hope this is not the same wording I used last week. It is true, and He will always be first on my list, but I do not need to word it the same way).

2. I am thankful for His guidance. I know He will tell me when I am ready to move forward and that I need to wait on His timing. It is not easy. I struggle with this daily. I am so thankful that God is in control.

I was able to sneak onto Mom’s computer and get this posted. Woo Hoo! My friend Becki, over at A Walk Though the Valley hosts this awesome MeMe, and I thought I was going to have to miss out on it this week. I have A LOT to be thankful for!

Becki has started the Thankful Thursday 13. Well, lets be honest, Becki has been doing the Thankful Thursday 13 for some time, and I have not participated.

This week, I am participating, and I have it on my calender to do every Thursday, except for next Thursday, but you will see why in my list.

1. I am thankful that God forgives our sins. That He loves us, even when we are unlovable.

I sought the Lord
and He answered me
and delivered me
from all my fears
Psalm 34:4 (NASB)
