10 Thankful Things

Ok, it is Thursday again and I want to stop and give thanks.. It seems when I do this whatever bad or negative things are going on are just so little and I feel more at peace...

1. I am thankful for my husband.... he is such a wonderful and sweet man and has been so attentive to me in the last week, even took me out for a date night last Friday.

2. I am thankful that he is talking to me... If you know Eric is a man of few words maybe that is why we are together cause I am a woman of many words but this past week he has sat down and talked to me about my day, his day, life, plans just chit chat which is something is hard for him...

10 Thankful Things Thursday (10TTT)

A friend of mine sends me her daily devotions and when I saw this I thought it was only fitting for Thankful Thursday.

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PRAISE OR THANK ME TOO MUCH. As it is written, I inhabit the praises of My people. Sometimes your adoration is a spontaneous overflow of Joy, in response to radiant beauty or rich blessings. At other times your praise is more disciplined and measured-an act of your will. I dwell equally in both types of praise. Thankfulness, also, is a royal road to draw near Me. A thankful heart has plenty of room for Me.

When you thank Me for the many pleasures I provide, you affirm that I am God, from whom all blessings flow. When adversity strikes and you thank Me anyway, your trust in My sovereignty is a showpiece in invisible realms. Fill up the spare moments of your life with praise and thanksgiving. This joyous discipline will help you live in the intimacy of My Presence.

Psalm 22:3 (KJV); Psalm 146:1-2; 1 Thessalonians 5:18

What am I thankful this Thursday....

1. I am thankful for the best husband in the world...

3. I am thankful for the job that I have that I get great rates on Marriott and Hilton brand hotels

4. I am thankful that Eric's job is not slowing down like a lot of other contractors are.

5. I am thankful we were able to go to Charleston on Friday night instead of Saturday morning.

6. I am thankful the weather was nice all day Saturday.

7. I am thankful for all my facebook and blogger friends.

8. I am thankful for all the reconnection of my high school and co-workers friends.

9. I am thankful I came home to a CLEAN house that even smelled good.

10. I am thankful and bless for every one that surrounds me in my life and for the will and plan that God has in place for me and how He has used and is using each and every person.. Yes, I am truly bless and thankful....

PS: When I get to post about my girl weekend and my b'day I will go into detail about some of these that I am thankful for...
