Giving Thanks With A Grateful Heart

If it doesn't come from the heart it doesn't mean much! I thank God he has been so good to me and sometimes my heart explodes out into song of thanks to Him.  

46.  I got to see my oldest daughter, her husband and my grandson this weekend. What fun we had together.

47.  For my daughter helping me bring Christmas decorations in from my shed.

48.  For being able to use the new program at church for the songs and scripture! WOW it was quick and easy and no hang ups!!

49.  For being able to find Spiderman 3 for $1.96 at Walmart.

50.  For someone blessing me with my way paid to our church banquet!  YEA!!

51.  For getting a set of saw horses (I'm not sure what the correct word is for them but that's what I've always heard them called) at the awesome price of $13.56 (includes tax).  They hold up to 500 lbs. (when will I ever have something that heavy to put on them). Thank God I held out and didn't buy any before Sears had their black Friday sale. Everywhere else I looked I could only buy one for that price or even for a higher price.  Thank God for black Friday specials!!

52.  For an awesome Thanksgiving with my sister and her family less her youngest daughter, my Mom and my friend Liz.  We really enjoyed all the different foods we all fixed. Not your normal Thanksgiving fare but it was fun and different!

53.  For only working 1/2 day on Friday. Got off at 12:30!!

54.  For my son-in-law figuring out why my Christmas tree would not light up.

55.  For OU beating OSU Saturday night.  An awesome game.  It was a real on the edge of your seat game.

 I SERVE AN AWESOME, GENEROUS, KIND AND LOVING GOD!!  PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME!

A DAY OF THANKS

Thanksgiving is only 3 days away, well 2 if you don't actually count Thursday.  There's so much to be thankful for, but we need to start stating it and not keep it all bottled up inside us.  Let God and people know verbally what you are thankful for.

36.  Monday night prayer meetings and that to night we had an equal amount of men to women!!

37.  How quiet it was at work even though it was a Monday.  Gave me time to write my petition out to God.

38.  I'm almost finished stripping all the paint off a dresser I'm working on.

39.  I got up in time to go to work amd was not late.  Alarm was set on vibrate so I didn't hear it go off.

40.  The taste of a grilled cheese, ham and tomato sandwich

41.  My youngest daughter is such a hoot.  She makes me laugh even when she writes on her blog.

42.  I have all my senses alive and well and that I am healthy!

43.  I am not in jail or in a hospital

44.  Psalms 118: 19-21

45.  1st John 5:14-15

May everyone have a blessed week and a Happy Thanksgiving.

Thankful For

Aw, I should start doing these on Tuesdays since Monday always seems to be so busy, but here's my thanks to God this week!

26.  For the new software program for songs we are getting at church. It's much easier and can do way more things!! And will not cause problems like the last one YEA!!!

27.  For God's Word and how I delight in finding new things in it.  Even those things I have read over and over suddenly (!!!!!) the light comes on!! And I understand what He wants me to see!!

28.  Watching my puppy run around outside and play right after I get home. He's a hoot!

29.  Sitting quietly and listening to instrumental music. It soothes me and relaxes me and draws me closer to God.

30.  The smell of baking brownies. And yum were they good!

32.  Curling up on the couch under two blankets with a good book or the GOOD BOOK!!

33.   Prince at my feet keeping them warm.

34.  God encouraging me to "Don't lose hope and don't give up" thru a guest speaker at church on Sunday.  Only He knew how important and much I needed to hear that!

35. The sound of wind blowing thru a cracked window.  Just enough that it whistles!!
