Thankful Thursday

Today I’m thankful

  • for healthy grandchildren.
  • for rosy cheeks from outdoor air on a sunny winter day. 
  • for baby naps on Grandma’s chest and fuzzy baby heads.
  • for the excellent books I’m reading.
  • that the circumstances of my life are given to me by God; that he is good and he knows what he’s doing.

Thankful Thursday

A few things I’ve been thankful for this week:

  • for a productive day today. Life had been busy lately, so I had to rush a project to meet a deadline. Thankfully, everything worked out better than I anticipated. I am thankful for God’s help when I am overwhelmed by the things I need to do.
  • for the beautiful weather. It was warm and sunny when I walked the dogs this afternoon, and I was feeling thankful that this winter been mostly good, weather-wise.
  • for the tulips on the coffee table. 
  • for a fridge full of leftovers so I don’t have to cook. 
  • that God has caused me to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for me. I’m thankful for the blessing of new life and the sure promise of an enduring inheritance.

Thankful Thursday

Today I’m thankful 

  • for the hope of a day with the grandchildren tomorrow. They usually spend Wednesday with me, but the three-year-old was sick then, so they all stayed home. I missed them. But if everyone’s well enough tomorrow, they’ll come tomorrow.
  • for my oldest grandson, who turned two last week; for all his boyish cuteness and energy.
  • that my son made his flight this morning. It was a near miss.
  • that I got everything finished that I needed to do today despite many interruptions. That could only happen with God’s help.
  • for the hope of a good night’s sleep tonight after interrupted sleep last night.
  • that God is present wherever I am.
