Thankful Thursday
Thursday, June 17, 2010 at 11:48AM 
I’m thankful that my sons are busy at work. When you run your own business, lots of work = good gift from God.
I’m thankful that the carrots seeds have sprouted into little tiny grasslike carrot plants. I’m also thankful for long daylight hours to grow the garden quickly during our short summer.
I’m thankful for eyeglasses. My own pair of glasses—without them I’d be seriously handicapped—and glasses in general.
I’m thankful for the past providences—past mercies—that I’ve been remembering lately. I’m thankful that God can make very difficult circumstances into ultimately good things. I’m thankful that I’ve had God’s help in past trials to give me assurance of his help in future ones.
On Thursdays throughout this year, I plan to post a few thoughts of thanksgiving along with Kim at the Upward Call and others. Why don’t you participate by posting your thanksgiving each week, too? It’ll be an encouragement to you and to others, I promise.

We are all very nearsighted in our family, especially my daughter. We once sat together and contemplated what people did in the past before good eyeglasses were invented. My husband figures he'd have been a beggar :)
I joined in today! I am always thankful for your Thursdays which remind me of more to be thankful for.

My carrots aren't coming and it looks like my lettuce isn't either. I will have to re-sow the latter and hope for some warmth!
Count me in as thankful for glasses too! A doctor once told me I was legally blind without them, just to give you an idea of how thankful I am!
I'm also especially thankful with you "that God can make very difficult circumstance into ultimately good things."
What a great idea. I am thankful for wife and kids and family. I just got back from a trip for work and I am thankful to be home safely. I am super thankful for God and his grace.
Thanks for posting. Have a great Thursday!

I, too, am thankful for eye glasses! And prescription sunglasses too! What a blessing to me they are!
