Thankful Thursday

Posted on by

I was MIA last year on Thankful Thursday and I apologize.  I am going to try to participate more this year when I have the time.

1. I am thankful my Hubby and son had a great time in Texas last week at the US Army All-American Football games.  I am also glad to have them back home!

(would help if I finished this before I hit publish, oh well those that saw this post when I only had a #1 sorry)

2. I am thankful for some of the opportunities God has been opening up for me.  I am also blessed the Lord opened the door to interview Rebecca St. James for Christian Women Online.

3. I am excited about a new bible study I am taking concerning end times.  People the Lord is coming soon, we need to be in active prayer for those that don’t know Jesus.

4. I am SO thankful football is out of my life until next August.  Today is the first basketball game my two older boys have and then my youngest has a game Saturday.  So we are in full basketball mode.

5. I am thankful I can lean on God’s promises when my mind and feelings fail me.  God takes my insecurities and turns them around to bless me.

So what are you thankful for today?  Head on over to Grace Alone and add your link.  Happy Thursday!

Happy Early Birthday Iris, did you think I would not remember?

Misted Iris_1It is Thankful Thursday and I would like to tell you everything I LOVE about Iris. (yes I know her birthday is not until Saturday, but lets celebrate a few days early!!!)

1. Her tender heart. When I go flying off the handle about something, she sweetly brings me back to earth and helps me see the good in all things.

2. Her giving spirit. She gives and then she gives some more. She has blessed me so many times.

3. Her friendship. She is the one person I know in the blog world who I can turn to, and she can say “well I don’t think you were right in this situation.” She is one I can go to for the truth even when it may hurt my feelings. I LOVE THAT!

4. We may go a few weeks without talking but as soon as a crisis hits or I may need prayer, she is the first person I turn to.

5. She is the only one in blog world I have met in real life.

6. I love the fact she is from Germany and she educates me on other cultures.

7. As a friend she draws me closer to the Lord.

8. We share the same kind of quirky humor.

9. We share the same hobbies (even though she is better at all of them =). But that is because your older right?

10. What I love about Iris the most….she puts up with me! Happy Birthday my sweet friend, wish I was there to take you out. I am so blessed God brought you into my life almost 2 years ago. God knew I would need you!!
