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 am going to post the winners of my two book draws later tonight, so be sure to check back or enter quickly (you have until 10pm Eastern time).

The winners announced here.

I have one BIG thing I am thankful for, I am just going to share a picture. But the story behind this blessing with be posted on my Lace With Grace post June 5th.

Be sure to visit Iris at Sting My Heart.

Please visit my other two posts today, I almost did not put up my TT post because I don’t want the other ones buried. But I do have a lot to be thankful for.

Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ. Gal 1:10 (NIV)

1. I am thankful for friends who check on me, send me cards in the mail, and friends who lend a helping hand when I need it. I am blessed.

2. I am thankful that there is only a month left of school. Thankful for the break, sad because they are getting older. Next year I will have three kids in three different schools (elementary, middle school, high school), that should be a challenge.

3. I am thankful for good books that teach me more about Christ. I am reading the book “The Seven Sayings of the Saviour on the Cross” by Arthur W Pink. The book has really opened my eyes.
