Thankful Thursday

 

I’m thankful that God is in control of everything and that he can be trusted. I’m thankful that his timing is perfect. I’m thankful that God cares for his saints and that he “hems them in, behind and before.”

I’m thankful that Jesus willingly died for our sins. 

I’m also thanking God for an afternoon without promise of rain (finally!) so I could make good progress staining the railings on the back deck. While I’m at it, I’m thanking him that I have a home with a deck to stain.

And I’m thankful for supper’s salad made with grilled chicken and greens and vegetables from the garden.

Throughout this year I’m planning to post a few thoughts of thanksgiving each Thursday along with Kim at the Upward Call and others.

I thoroughly enjoyed finding this post. I blog similarly, with a thankfulness series called "1001 Reasons," and it was neat to see someone else doing it, and specifically, doing it from a Christian angle (since this theme can of course be secularized). Thanks for the posts :)

Thanks Brittani. There is a group of us that do this every Thursday.
