Thankful Thursday

Do not grow weary in doing good.
2 Thessalonians 3:13

1. I GOT MY BRACES OFF. I am so excited. I am now the proud owner of a retainer. Still trying to get use to it, but I am happy with my new smile.

2. I praise God that he is in control of everything, and I know I can trust in his leading.

3. I am thankful my parents are having a blast in Durango Colorado. They are enjoying themselves, and enjoying the cool weather.

4. I am so excited that this time next week I will be in Phoenix loving on my niece and visiting family.

5. I praise God that no matter if we mess up big time, the Lord is there to forgive.

I pray you have a wonderful Thursday.

For more Thankful Thrusdays, head on over to Sting My Heart.
