Thankful Thursday

… although it will probably be Friday when you read this.

I’m thankful the cut youngest son got at work today is no worse that it is. It required several stitches, but there was no nerve or tendon damage. I’m also thankful he’s old enough to do emergency room visits himself.

I’m thankful for answered prayer. Lately, my family has had several prayer requests, big ones and small, answered in surprising ways. I’m also thankful for God’s timing, which is so much better than mine. I’m thankful that when God answers prayer, he doesn’t always give us what we ask for exactly when we ask for it.

I’m thankful we finally have perfect pool party weather. I was beginning to wonder if we’d skip real summer this year, but it’s finally come—and promises to be here for at least a week.

I’m thankful for my grandson, the youngest of my grandchildren, who loves pool parties at Grandma’s house.

I’m thankful for two ripe tomatoes. And kale and spinach, ready to pick.

Responding to your tweet---I'm glad you share your thanksgivings. It gives opportunity to join in thanking God for his works in your life, which then leads me to thank him again for his works in mine! I kind of miss the days (when I had a blog) when a whole bunch of us did the Thankful Thursday posts.

Those were the good old days, weren't they?

I was going through my archives recently, and saw the many encouraging comments that were on my Thankful Thursday posts, and I felt very nostalgic for those days.
