Thankful Thursday





The last few weeks have been full of surprises for me and not all of them pleasant! So today, I decided it was time to just be thankful. There is a great blog I read (Sacred Mundane) where every Friday, she ends her week with what she is thankful for. It has been an encouragement to me these last few weeks, I am learning that whether you are in physical pain, plagued with sickness, experiencing financial turmoil, emotional pain, spiritual warfare or any other trial, the quickest way to put a smile on your face is to be thankful.

So today, we are going to have a Thankful Thursday.

 

1. Salvation

2. Air conditioning (repaired this week)

3. Days without pain

4. Green Tomatoes

5. Fireworks

6. Freedom to disagree

Faith without Fear

We took Miss Addison with us and if you have a little one you know there are always a million things you can’t forget! As we start our journey very early Saturday morning I ask (for at least the fifth time) where we are to meet the missionary.

True to his word, about 30 minutes before our arrival we get a phone call with directions on where to meet. Now, we are heading his way and af...
