Dear Lord; Happy Thankful Thursday Father!
And once again Lord, we come to one of my favorite conversations of the week; the Thankful Thursday list! As you know Father, this has been an exceptionally eventful week for us; filled with both cause for joyful celebration, as well as news of a disheartening loss. However through it all Father, I’ve felt Your Divine Presence in abundance and have much to be thankful for.
Therefore Lord, my list for the week is:
31. Jonathan being off chemotherapy for 10 years as of this month.
32. Warmer, sunny days.
33. Air conditioning for those warmer, sunny days.
34. New friends.
35. Cheesesteak pizza.
36. A glass of Pinot Noir to go with that pizza. 🙂
37. Hidden Treasure in the basement.
38. Being perfectly loved by my Creator, even as imperfect as I am.
39. Inspiring Contemporary Christian music that uplifts me throughout the day.
40. My blood pressure medication.
41. Gas prices coming back down a little bit.
42. A job commitment for Shannon at the boys’ school next year.
43. Good friends coming to visit over the Memorial Day Weekend.
44. New episodes of Doctor Who on BBC America.
45. Daily guidance from my Heavenly Father.
Heavenly Father, as always, I thank You for continuing to be ever-faithful, and filling our lives with such a multitude of Blessings each day. I pray for Your continued guidance in making choices that best glorify Your Will, and for Your aid in sharing Your Light with those around me. Amen.

Love #31 and #38. Even in the midst of struggles we have so much to be thankful for. Great list, Phil.
So happy for Jonathan being off chemo for ten years. Praise God! I am also thankful for a loving Creator and His guidance.
wow every single one of these items on your list are wonderful but especially about Jonathan being off chemo. Thank you Lord!
Praise God that Jonathan has been off of chemo for 10 years. I really enjoy reading things you are thankful for, many of them are the things I am thankful for. Have a wonderful weekend and blessings to you, Phil.
