Thankful Thursday

I’m thankful that my cupboards and fridge and freezer are full, and for the variety of fresh fruits and vegetables available to me even during the winter months. I’m thankful that God provides all these things. 

I’m thankful for an afternoon with my youngest daughter. I’m thankful that she was able to get into a dentist quickly for a root canal on her abscessed tooth. I’m thankful that she is pain free now and the tooth is saved. I’m thankful for gentle and competent dentists. 

Now that I think about it, I saw all my kids at one time or another today. I’m thankful that they all live nearby, at least for now. It makes my life a little crazy sometimes, with all the coming and going, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. 

I’m thankful (again) for clear skies and warm winter weather. I’m thankful for the sliver moon in the twilight sky. I’m thankful for the God-created beauty that surrounds me. 

I’m thankful for all the benefits of salvation. I’m thankful that God who begins a good work will complete it.

What about you? What are you thankful for?

All my kids are home this week, and my son brought two friends with him, so the house has been so hectic, and makes the dog hectic, too, but I'm thankful that my son likes to bring his friends here.

I'm thankful that my kids are home safe from Thailand with our new granddaughter. I'm thankful that we finally have another big mural project even though it means leaving them for a month and heading for Arizona.
