Thankful Thursday

I’m thankful for phones and cell phones. Without a phone, I would have gone to my early morning dentist appointment only to find out that the dentist was sick. And it wouldn’t have been so convenient to make plans for a walk with a friend, either. I’m thankful that while I was at the grocery store I could receive a text telling me not to forget salsa. God created human beings to be inventive and creative so that we have many tools and gadgets to make our everyday lives easier, and for that I am thankful.

I’m thankful that God gave us work to do so our lives have purpose. I might get bored if all I had to do was sit in a recliner eating bonbons. I’m thankful that God has provided steady work for my son’s business, since all that work provides income for both my sons.

I’m thankful that my son and his wife found a new place to rent. There is nothing to rent at a reasonable price in this town, but through a friend they found a little house downtown to live in.

Throughout this year I’m planning to post a few thoughts of thanksgiving each Thursday along with Kim at the Upward Call and others.

I'm regularly thankful for having my cellphone with having the kids away from home.
