Thankful Thursday

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, [and] into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, [and] bless his name. Psalm 100:4

I have not written a “Thankful Thursday” in a while, so I thought today I would.

I am thankful for rainy Sunday afternoons. (I am actually writing this on a Sunday afternoon. Everyone is taking a nap, and my husband has piano music playing. It is the most peaceful I have felt in awhile!)

I am thankful for rainy Summer days. It is always a perfect day. (The air is a little cool inside, and you can curl up with your kids and watch a good movie, or read some great books. Don’t forget the cozy blanket, and the hot tea. Mmmmm!)

Give thanks to the Lord, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done. (1Chronicles 16:8 NIV)

I am thankful for my wonderful husband. I have said it before, but it bears repeating. He is always supportive of wherever my dreams take me, brings calm to my emotions, and truly appreciates me and values me as a true partner, a side by side companion. (In fact, I will leave him in a few days from this post to go on a girls trip to Florida, he will be keeping both of my girls…for a week! What a man, what a man, what a mighty fine man!)

I am thankful for friends that “stick closer than a brother”.(and sister 😉 ) I am blessed with too many to name them all. But those that are so dear to me, Tracy and Mike Hurst, Katrina Little, Rich and Adina Fiallo, and my “Carolina Girls” – You know your names.  The Proverbs says He who has found one friend is blessed. I am blessed beyond measure!

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever. (1Chronicles 16: 34 NIV)

I am thankful for sunny summer days by the swimming pool, enjoying my girls.

I am thankful for my girls, they make me smile every day.

I am thankful for school starting back! No explanation necessary.

What are you thankful for??…
