Thankful Thursday

Psa 107:1 ¶ O give thanks unto the LORD, for [he is] good: for his mercy [endureth] for ever.

I want to say first and foremost I am thankful for The Lord nd His mercies in my life. I am so thankful that His mercy does endure forever. Without His mercy, I would be dead or most miserable. I know that I am not worthy of His mercy, but I am so thankful He saw fit to bring me out of the gutter of sin and set me free!

This may sound funny, but I am thankful for all your thankful hearts. Reading your thankfulness encourages me each time I read. I am so glad that my friend Michelle encouraged me to start blogging. I have been blessed beyond measure with blogs I have read.

I am thankful for my young female Min Pin who had her puppies a little early and is being a wonderful mommy. Although only 2 out of the 4 have survived, she is being a very patient mommy for her first litter. She is very loving and protective of her babes. I know she gets tired of being locked up with the pups so long, but when she goes out, she is always anxious to get back to her little ones. I am so thankful the 2 that survived are doing great. Fat butterballs, ready to start venturing out a little further than their kennel each day.

I am thankful for what God does with our mistakes that we make in life and can make something negative have a positive outcome if we give it to Him. I was talking to my 19 year old daughter this evening and we were saying how thankful we were taht God is able to take our mistakes and make something good come from them! Although we tend to make choices that God would rather we not make sometimes, if we are willing to humble ourselves and submit ourselves to Him He can pick up the pieces of our lives and make the outcome a blessing. I am just thankful that His mercy is there for us!!

I am thankful that this heatwave is almost over! I don't like hot humid weather, (why do I live in Kansas??) grins, and I am so looking forward to Fall!!

I am thankful that God is going to someday bring our wayward daughter back home. It has been a long time since she decided to take her life into her own hands and walk away from God, but I believe that as long as we hang on to our Faith, and don't give up on God, that she will turn back to Him, she will be back in His safety and with her family who so misses her!

Urgent prayer requests!!

I am asking everyone to please pray for a couple of needs we have in the church. One is for a brother who is really ill, and they are contemplating amputating his foot. Please pray that God intervenes with this and Heals his foot quickly. It has been a long ongoing infection that he has had but we know God is a healer!! Pray for his wife also, she is really having a rough time with this situation, as she is not real well herself.

Also pray for our guy Josh!! He is not our son, but he is my best friends son, and he is a wonderful young man, and our family loves him!! He was at the ER for most of the morning yesterday with an issue. Pray God keeps His hand on him, and stop whatever the devil is trying to put on his body!!

Joanna (Squirt) Is 2



A little late on posting her birthday as it was the 31st of July but she is quickly growing up!! She has been such joy to this family since our older girls are all grown up and married. Joanna puts a smile on my face no matter how I feel!!

Thankful Thursday

First of all things I am Thankful For The Lord Jesus Christ and His Love, Grace and Mercy to me and my family.
I first of all want to apologize for being away from my blogspot for so long. Things have been so very busy lately, I haven't made the time to sit and type for just a few minutes. But I did want to get back in here and try again!

I want to say how thankful I am for Gods love. How He takes care of us from day to day. Since my last postings, lots of things have happened. Our van, which was on its last leg died. I was on my way home from work on a Friday evening and it gave out. Needless to say, it is history! God has so much mercy, He made sure we had the ability to replace it before He allowed it to give out on us. Just that very day He provided the financial means for us to purchase a used one. Of course we didn't know it was in His plan for it to give out on us that day. Long story short, He blessed us with a great van, for the price we had been praying for for several weeks! God is totally awesome, and NO payments!!

I am thankful for my family. For my husband for being so patient with me when I don't cook..... which seems to be often lately. (Always running here and there every day it seems)! He is always willing to help wherever he can, or wherever I ask him to. For my boys for being so helpful with their little sister (Squirt) who by the way is 2 now!!!

I am thankful for my job. Although I am really ready for a new job, I am thankful that this one is still ongoing, (as a contractor for the US Army it can be dropped at any time). God has kept this job open for me a lot longer than they expected it to be. He knows!!

I am thankful for out Pastor and His Wife! They always keep us in their prayers, (God knows we need them)! I am thankful that they continue to be the examples and leaders that we and our children need.

I am thankful for my future grandchildren!! Yeah.... we are so excited!! God is blessing and ading to our family!!

I am thankful for this blog community, I am so blessed by so many of your blogs I read. You will never know just how much I am blessed when I read your stories and blessings!! Keep us in your prayers, and God bless!!
