I had a million things on my to-do list today, but I ended up spending almost the whole afternoon in the back yard
- soaking in the sun and fresh air
- playing with the dogs
- chatting with family, friends and neighbours.
I’m thankful that I can take an occasional unplanned day off when the weather is good and people pop by. I’m thankful for sun and fresh air and my pleasant back yard. I’m thankful for family, friends and neighbors. If I didn’t think another mention in a Thankful Thursday post might go to their heads, I’d say I was thankful for the dogs, too.
I’m thankful for a clothesline and good weather for drying clothes, so that my broken and still unrepaired (or unreplaced) dryer hasn’t stressed me at all…yet.
I’m thankful for an abundant—okay, overabundant—raspberries. (Do you want a pint or two?)
I’m thankful that all my circumstances are in the hands of my trustworthy God.
On Thursdays throughout this year, I plan to post a few thoughts of thanksgiving along with Kim at the Upward Call and others. Why don’t you participate by posting your thanksgiving each week, too? It’ll be an encouragement to you and to others, I promise.
