Thankful Thursday…

in Thankful Thursdays

We’re going to try something new this week…giving thanks for what we have…so here goes…

  • I am thankful for the members of Moms of Grace for finding great prompts to get me writing…I love to write, but sometimes, it’s just not there…now I have so much to write about, I don’t know where to start…
  • I am thankful that I’m starting to feel better so that I can get back in the swing of things…but know that I can’t do it all, nor can I do it all at once…
  • I am thankful that I have from 3pm until bedtime on Saturday with no plans…when I say no plans, I mean no children, no appointments, nothing to do…and because I have this time I’m going to use it for me…perhaps I’ll get the chance to scrapbook… :)
  • I am thankful that I had neighbors to call for help when I needed it…and friends to laugh with me through the mice incident…
  • As strange as this sounds, I’m thankful for the mice, as they helped me to stand up to a fear and do something for me…something I never thought I could do…
  • I have a lot to be thankful for and I think so often we (or maybe not we…maybe just me) spend more time dwelling on what we need to fix…what we need to make happen…and don’t stop to think about how thankful we are for what we have…

    I am a truly blessed woman…I really am…even though I was complaining about my daughter tonight and how annoying she was being, I am so thankful that she is in my life. There are so many people who can’t have children and I have a healthy one…spunky, but healthy…

    I have lots to be thankful for…I think this is a great way to think about it and reflect upon it every week… :)

    Until next time…

I so agree, Heather. It is easy to dwell on things that are hard on us. I love to think about the things I have been blessed with. It makes it much easier to get through a week…Oh – and nothing planned for Saturday-how awesome!

Thank you for sharing your thankfulness with us this week. Hope to see soon again.

Blessings to you and yours.

Mice? Did you say Mice…those cute little critters from downunder…and I don’t mean Australia? As a former farm wife I have a strong, VERY strong aversion to the little critters from – downunder-

But the rest of you list is wonderful. I just don’t think I could give thanks for mice… ☺

It always amazes me how much we have to be thankful for if we’re willing to take the time to notice. Thanks for sharing your blessings.

I am thankful that my friend has started writing again. I love to read your stories, your insights, and your hilarious mishaps. I’ve missed your blog, and I’m so glad you’re back up and running! (Just wish you would’ve told me about it sooner because I’ve spent the last hour or so reading all your posts… ha ha)
