Thankful Thursday

Thankful for my IPOD, sometimes just pluggin up my ears with Great Christian music, keeps my mouth shut, hahaha! (if it worked more often, I'd never take them out).

I'm so thankful that this is not all there is to live, God has reserved the very best for us in a home in heaven.

I'm thankful for my church and all my sisters in Christ, what a blessing each have been to me on this journey and each one was a gift from the Father Himself, thank You LORD !!! I cannot say enough about them all, I would not be the person I am today without their unconditional love, prayer and support in all times! I ask God to continually bless richly all those that have touched my life and made the difference in my families life too !!!!

I'm so thankful for a sweet conversation with a good friend today about our mutual friend who is in heaven now, celebrating her 2 years with the Lord and somehow her old yahoo address was spammed and it sent out emails to all of us who know her and me and Donna was like isn't that just like Pam to email all of us !

I'm thankful that heaven is more dear to me this year than last. Now I think about my grandparents and parents who are there and other loved ones and friends, and the closer I get and the older I am, the more I realize God's grace keeps me until that day when I'll see Jesus for the first time.

I'm thankful that my spouse is saved and goes to church with me and God will have blessed us with 22 years together this Christmas...and he's still my best friend after all this time, goodness only knows I"m not the same woman he married all those years ago nor is he the same guy but God has done more for us than I could ever explain or tell, He's just been more to us than I could have ever known how to pray for !

The Lord is really working with me on somethings in my heart and my family life, I'm thankful God doesn't just leave us where we are but walks through the good times and the hard times in family life, and he's in the day in day out small and big things in our home ! He loves us too much to leave us as He found us.....I feel like the woman at the well, this man has told me everything I've ever done and yet He loves me still.......

I'm thankful for God's lavish Love, unending Mercy, deep Compassion, abounding Forgiveness to such a person as I, if anyone could have exhausted you, it would have been me, thankful for a Savior who died that I might have a life such as this.....
