Thankful Thursday-Many Blessings

I know last week was Thanksgiving but we were away for thanksgiving  so there was no blog post about Thanksgiving….Matter of fact my participation in thankful Thursday or any Meme has been less than stellar so hopefully this marks a renewed sense of blog attention.

so what am I thankful for….oh that is a difficult question…not because I don’t know of anything But because there are SOOO many things to be thankful for….So I will pick 5 things

#1- My husband- He is wonderful and realizes that sometimes I just need help…especially when I am sick.  I is such a joy to have my husband as my pastor too.  I get to see him in so many different settings and I love to see him minister to people…what a joy!

#2 My parents-  I am so Thankful that parents stuck by their guns on their rules when I was a kid…..

#3 My kids- because the they make me laugh…they are far from perfect BUT they exude such a joy…joy that is lacking in so many kids today.   Despite their faults they are truly a gift from God

#4 A warm house-  I love our house even though we do not own it …..it’s a church parsonage and what a joy it is to be where we are…..no situation is perfect but beyond a shadow of a doubt we are loved!

#5 My Lord and Savior- without Him  my peace and ability to be satisfied would be non-existant.  or possible.

 ” Because of Him I can face tomoroow, Because of Him all fear is Gone, Because I know who holds the future…Life is worth the living Just because He lives!”
