Thankful Thursday

It's hard to believe that Thankful Thursday has already rolled back around again this week. Though I am new to Thankful Thursday, I really look forward to sharing what I am thankful for as well as reading what others are thankful for each week.


Without futher ado. This week;


I am thankful that God promises me a life of purpose.

I am thankful for the cross.

I am thankful for having more than enough.

I am thankful for gas prices finally dropping.

I am thankful for cooler weather.

I am thankful for a wondferul time that I had with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law on a recent girls' night out.

I am thankful that God promises me a sense of security.
Deuteronomy 31:6 ~ "Be strong and courageous. For the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."

And as always, I am thankful for Dirk and our girls, Morgan and Jaelyn.

You have much to be thankful for, Daphine! What a great thing to do...to sit down and really give some thought to how God has blessed your life. Unfortunately, in today's world, I think that's something many of us never find the time to do.

Thanks for sharing your list...and your blessings! I'm so thankful that we've become blogging buddies. :)

Daphine,

You are so right, I really need to work on saying, "No" to save my own sanity! It may take me awhile, but I'll get there...eventually! :)

Thank you (since it is Thankful Thursday) so much for explaining how to post a link!!! You are a life saver! I have been trying and trying to figure that out, but no success. I even went to the site, "Blogging for Dummies" and STILL couldn't figure it out! So, what does that say about ME? You explained everything so well on Laurin's blog and I finally got it! I did a little test run and it worked!! Thanks a thousand times over, my friend!!

Amen to that!

I'd loved that you wrote that God promises us a life of purpose... a good reminder for me! Sometimes things can seem purposeless or random, but they are ordained and good.

Daphine,

Your list is beautiful. I think people rarely take time out to sit down and be thankful for all of their blessings. Even in the roughest times we truly have a lot to be thankful for!

Daphine, I am so sorry for misleading you about Sandy's giveaway! I totally misunderstood the dates....too late at night when reading! Please forgive me. I enjoyed reading your thankful list. Thank you for reminding me to take nothing for granted!
