Dear Lord; Happy Thankful Thursday Father!
Well Lord, once again we come to that day of the week where I compose my list of some things I’ve been thankful for over the past seven days; Thankful Thursday. It’s been a topsy-turvy week, but even in times of uncertainty and sadness, I still find so much to give thanks for. These posts have ended up being a Blessing to me Father, as each week I now take more special care to note all the “little” miracles in my life, instead of being consumed by the chaotic world around me and missing them. As I’ve said before, I am truly Blessed. 🙂
Anyways Father, on to the list! Some of the things I’ve been thankful for this week are:
91. Jonathan’s excitement in starting confirmation class at church.
92. Father’s Day dinner with my Dad.
93. The Holy Bible.
94. Facebook.
95. Fax Machines.
96. Seeing my children perform unprompted acts of kindness.
97. Twizzlers. (These should have a warning label about being addictive)
98. Neighbors who mow your lawn while you’re out. (Thank you Donna!)
99. A “Wall-E” toy robot of Aidan’s that he gave to me for my desk at work. (I smile every time I look at it)
100. Boston Crème Donuts.
101. Watching the blur of glow sticks flying around the back yard on Friday nights as the kids burn off steam.
102. The family of cardinals that’s taken up residence near our home.
103. Having a local Christian Bookstore with a good selection.
104. Teriyaki grilled salmon.
105. Feeling and recognizing Your Presence in my life.
And so much more…
Heavenly Father, I lift my heart in praise for all of the Blessings You bring to our lives each day. You are truly a compassionate and caring Shepherd, and I rejoice in the love You show to Your flock. Please help us see through the veil of our mortal shells, and relish the joy that Your Divine Presence brings to us all. Amen.

There are so many things to be thankful, I am thankful for the family of swallows by our back door, it is amazing to watch the family growing. Thanks for a great list.
Blessings to you.
I read about that on your blog yesterday Deane. I spend quite a bit of time communing with nature as well… Such a powerful presence God has in those places!
Have a Blessed Day!
