Dear Lord; Happy Thankful Thursday Father!<\/p>\n

As I\u2019ve mentioned before Lord, I\u2019ve become quite fond of the Thankful Thursday post each week.\u00a0 It serves as a wonderful look back and inspection of the prior week\u2019s events, and helps me to truly focus on and appreciate Your Wondrous Gifts more thoroughly.\u00a0 Spotlighting those simple joys in life that often go by unnoticed has proved to be inspiring, and humbling at the same time.\u00a0 And each week, after carefully compiling my list I come to the same undeniable conclusion\u2026<\/p>\n

I am truly Blessed.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

And therefore Father, without further ado, here\u2019s this week\u2019s Thankful Thursday list:<\/p>\n
