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.
