Thankful Thursday

Well today I am going to start back up with my "Thankful Thursday" meme. I sure have missed Thankful Thursdays and the fellowship of other "Thankful Thursday-ers" :) This year I wanted to write more at my blog as I feel like I have a lot to say, but not a lot of time. So "TT" will help me keep up with my goal.

I will keep it simple with a top ten list of things I am thankful for this week.

1. On a sad note, my husband lost his best friend to cancer this past week... one tiny thankful in this difficult situation was that my husband found an airline ticket for 127 dollars last minute. Originally the tickets were costing anywhere from 800 to 1300 dollars. We are thanking God that he provided a way financially for my husband to be with his best friend's family.

2. To continue on number 1 a bit. My hubby's friend was a believer, and even though many are grieving for him, we do not grieve as those with no hope... We are so sad to be without him, but we know he is with his Jesus. Our Jesus...

3. I realized today that the Lord has been so good to me when it has come to my physical health... I have not been really sick (doctor's care) for over 2 years. I am blessed to have my health.

4. I belong to a Gym and I like to actually workout at that gym :)

5. I have a job I love with coworkers I adore :)

6. I am thankful to be a part of 3 blogging for books programs in which I get to keep all the books and resources I review.

7. I am thankful that I finally purchased Ann Voskamp's book "one thousand gifts"...I just began it and already I know I am going to love it.

8. I am thankful that my boys are getting to attend AWANAS at a local church. I was involved in AWANAS when I was a child and the program is wonderful.

9. My youngest child is coming out of his shell... he is surprising me.

10. My middle child conquered a fear by completing a task that he wanted to quit on.

Ok, that is all for now. Feel free to tell me something you are thankful for this week. I would love to hear it. Blessings all...
