Dear Lord; Happy Thankful Thursday Father!
Following last week’s example Lord, I’m going to add to the list of Your Gifts that I’ve been especially grateful for this past week. It’s funny, but since last week’s posting I’ve been finding myself making mental notes as I go through the day; “Wow… This needs to make the list this week!”. I love having the mindset of “filing” all those wonderful Blessings You bestow on me so I can write them down later on. 🙂
Anyways Father, here’s my list this week:
16. Children who remember to say grace at dinnertime… Even when I forget.
17. A caring, God-loving veterinarian who understands what our “furry family members” mean to us.
18. Hunny responding well to the medication after only two days.
19. Good friends who go out of their way to help our family.
20. Live worship messages streaming from Crosspoint.tv on Sunday nights.
21. A staff who “rolls with the punches” in uncertain times.
22. Finding a Bluetooth headset for my phone that fits comfortably and works properly, (finally!)
23. Spring rainstorms that lull me to sleep at night.
24. A wife who likes mowing the lawn.
25. The smell of warm cinnamon bread baking in the oven.
26. Exploring the beauty and wonders of nature with the boys.
27. My hacked Nook Color Android Tablet.
28. Breakfast for Dinner.
29. The online Bible at YouVersion.com which I can access from my PC, my phone and my Android tablet.
30. Chunks of fresh strawberries in my fruit slushie.
Heavenly Father, as always this list could go on, and on, and on… Your Blessings surround us all each day, and I just love connecting with You further by putting them in writing.
Amen.

Another great list! Isn’t YouVersion great? I love having access to all the different translation at once. Keep counting your blessings. 🙂
Thank you Lisa! I absolutely love YouVersion. I have the app on my Android Phone, my Tablet and my PC and they all stay wonderfully synced up so if I make a bookmark or comment, it follows my account. I’ve also linked to blog posts here on the public comments there and met up with some other wonderful people from it!
Have a Blessed Weekend!
What a great list… #28 is my favorite!
Blessing to you and your family!
Thank you Alida! That’s one of my favorites as well. 🙂
Have a Blessed Day!
I can say I do look forward to seeing what is placed on someone’s list. Thought I do not place mine in public view, I can say my list continues to grow. Knowing what I know and seeing what I am blessed with has been a large eye opener in many areas of my life. Blessings being counted makes for realizing his arms are around us and we are lucky enough to see the gifts.
Counting our Blessings absolutely makes us look at the world and our lives in a different light, doesn’t it? 🙂
Have a Blessed Day!
