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!

I love your thankful heart sweetie.

I have sleep apnoea and often fall asleep at the computer, so have been known to click the publish button without being aware of it. So far all that has happened is things like it appears happened to you, unfinished posts appearing. I pray I do nothing worse.

I loved your list, Laurel. My most favorite was #3. He is, and we need to be looking up! I’m a Bible prophecy addict, oh, that’s not the right word but you know what I mean. I long for the Rapture and look so forward our redemption into eternity! I truly believe we are living in the last days. So much points to it. So much Bible prophecy has been fulfilled already and continues to be fulfilled on a daily basis.
Happy Thankful Thursday!

Lori,
I’m so glad you are participating once again in thankful Thursday. I’m also glad that your Bible study went so well. It’s certainly a time to keep your bible handy as you read the news and see what’s happening. You did a fabulous job on the Rebecca St. James interview. Loved it! I gave you a mention in my thankful Thursday post today.

Things are changing faster than I can keep up with out here, Lori. But I have to say, I’m so glad I can call you Lori now instead of constantly being careful to call you Laurel Wreath. I’m glad you came out. LOL
I’ll bet you’re glad you’ve gone from football to basketball. Basketball is indoors! Not that that matters, where you live.
Love your list.
It must have been amazing to interview Rebecca St. James! I need to read the article.
Have a good day!
I think the more and more we are thankful, the more things there are to be thankful for
