Thankful Thursday

I’m thankful 

• for my ordinary quiet life. I have no drama, no big plans, no exciting news. And that suits me just fine.
• for midnight sun. As soon as I finish this, I’ll take the dog out for his before bed walk, and it will be 11:30pm and still daylight. This is one of my favorite times of the year. 
• for God’s protection. I’ve got no “near miss” stories, but I figure that just means he’s protecting me from even the near misses. When I think about what could happen, what would happen, minus God’s protection, I am very thankful for each safe day.
• for God’s power. We’ve been having frequent thunderstorms, unusual for us, and a reminder of our powerful God who “rides upon the storm.”
• for yesterday with the toddler granddaughters. I am thankful that they enjoy each other so much. I’m thankful that we’ve got a peaceful rhythm to the days together.
• for mangoes and avacadoes. For the variety of fresh fruits and vegetable in my supermarket. 
• that God is faithful and unchanging.
• for the promise of tomorrow and eternity.

What are you thankful for?

hmmm - I did write a comment but don't see it! So hopefully this is not a repeat. I did want to say thanks for your "thankful Thursday" posts. I look forward to them and often find myself saying "amen" to what is written. They are always an encouragement to see God's hand in one's (mine) very ordinary life as a mother and grandmother :D

Thanks for commenting Sharon. An ordinary life is a real blessing, isn't it?
