Dear Lord; Happy Thankful Thursday Father!<\/p>\n
Ok Father, yes, I realize it\u2019s not Thursday anymore but I really didn\u2019t want to let the week pass by without adding to my ever growing list of Blessings.\u00a0 It\u2019s been an amazingly busy week Lord, but one that absolutely overflowed with Your love for us.<\/p>\n
Continuing to count my Blessings Father; while this week Your many gifts were abundantly apparent, I\u2019ve been especially grateful for:<\/p>\n

Your subtle reminders of who I was, who I\u2019ve become, and the man You desire me to be.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n 562.
