Thankful Thursday

It seems like it was just Thursday yesterday...so how did it get here again so fast?

Some things I'm thankful for this week:

*Barbeques, potato salad, watermelon and jello cake

*Dinner out and a date night with my lifetime lover

*Turtles, minnows and worms...

*Bible Study - today was our last meeting for the year. Thanks ladies for a great study and for your sweet gifts of appreciation.

*A husband who is sold out for Jesus. He's going to be speaking this weekend to the men of our church (and community) about maintaining sexual purity in an immoral society.

*One first grade girl who braved the inside of a digestive system (a model at the children's museum)

*Another little girl singing about dinosaurs "We will, we will STOMP you! Woo!" and four in the bed (complete with a nightcap) at her end of the year program

*A God who never changes, who remains forever loving no matter what is going on

What a sweet list, Heather!! I love the thankful part about summer...BBQ, potato salad, watermelon, and jello cake!! Since we both live in the north, we appreciate those things so much this time of year because there are only a few months we can enjoy them. I didn't know how lucky I was when I lived in the south!!

Thanks for your prayers for my baby's eye surgery on Tuesday. It was completely heart-wrenching to watch him go through that but he is doing much better now. I've got an update on my blog.

Hope you are having a wonderful day!!

I finally got to see Prince Caspian it was GREAT.

I just love little Lucy, is she precious or what? I want her child-like pure faith.

Congrats on your new additions to your family, I've have my share with 5 sons!

Hope you have a blessed day♥

Heather,
I loved reading your Thankful post and your Newest Addition to the Family. Last year my kids caught a snake and a lizard. Because I am a "mean mamma" they were not allowed to bring either inside. I don't share a house with snakes or lizards!!!!

What a treasure it is to have a husband who is speaking out on sexual purity. My husband too does some speaking at the men's retreats here. They are doing a Wild At Heart retreat in October that he will be speaking at. I am so grateful to have a like-minded partner on this journey with me.

I know you are too!

Hugs,
Julie

I've tried my first hand at Mr. Linky but I need someone to test it. It's all about Prince Caspian! (Yes, he was easy on the eyes) No that wasn't what the post was about. But if you want to pop over if you have time and try it for me!

What a great list, Heather! Yay to Hubby for tackling a tough, almost taboo, topic. I pray that God will give him the strength to be bold.

Have a blessed day!

Prayer: Does It Make Any Difference? by Phillip Yancey

Shannon, at Rocks in my Dryer , is hosting a huge giveaway! Isn't that exciting! I love to give something meaningful to my friends - as I shop, I always look for just the right item that fits our relationship and the individual's personality. So, if you stop by this little blog of mine, I think you might like this gift I've picked out. This fall, I have been nourished by the wisdom of Phillip Yancey in his recent book on prayer. Our Bible study has plumbed the depths of prayer with Yancey's help in this amazing book. My personal prayer life has been challenged and I have probed the deeper questions surrounding prayer with a beloved mentor. I would love for you to enjoy this book too. I'll be giving the book away to one blessed commenter. So, leave a comment here and I'll be drawing a name next week to give away this treasure box full of well-mined jewels from God's Word and life's experiences. Don't forget to leave a comment to be entered in the draw...

Thankful Thursday

A few things that fill my heart with gratitude... *Bright explosions in the sky *Bug repellent *Calamine and band aids for when we forget about the bug repellent (and the polka dot girl I put to bed each night whose sensitive skin seems to attract the little suckers) *Days spent at the beach *Life jackets *Aloe, although it can't take away a lobster red sunburn, it does soothe *Photographs and memories *The public library. My family has been enjoying plenty of summer library programs. *Ok, I'm even thankful for cockroaches. The kids sure had fun playing with the huge ones the "Bug Guy" Brought in for the last program we attended. They even ate a few bugs. (I am NOT joking!) I, on the other hand, found it conveniently necessary to excuse myself to the restroom right around the time the roaches and tarantulas were being brought out. *I'm thankful for a new job...which will be starting soon (more on that later). *Green slime, explosions, goggles and lab coats...yes,...

God's Encouragement

I am thankful this week for so much, but I have to share my little piece of encouraging news first. I submitted a little article to our newspaper and then I found out they don't accept unsolicited submissions, so I forgot all about it. Then, in our paper today, I saw my article! It was a little encouragement from God to keep plowing away at this writing thing even when it seems difficult. He is so tender-hearted toward me, I feel overwhelmed! I'm also thankful for the world class concert I attended today. I would have paid top notch prices for this concert which played out in a small bedroom with a karaoke. The first artist was a young singer who wrote her own music (straight from her heart) and the song was something about glorifying God by loving Him in all we do. She sang as she danced about in her ballerina costume. Next up was a short toucan with a toddler face peeping out and a loud voice. His arms moved to the music as he told us "My God is so big, so stwo...
