And so, I continue~

I Thessalonians 5:18--In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Not just when times are easy, nor when times are difficult, but every. single. day. I should be looking for the many things I have to be thankful for! The verse says "in every thing"...big or small...noticed or unnoticed...important or mundane...new or old...I am to give thanks in every thing. And, so, my list continues as I join Ann and many other believers on this amazing journey...



Counting~#21-35

21. the faithfulness of my husband
22. quiet time with Jesus before the children wake up
23. a special friend for my son
24. reading to my kids before bed
25. smiling faces when I say "Daddy is on his way home!"

26. the "Night Night Book"
27. cleaning supplies
28. good health
29. coffee with peppermint mocha creamer
30. the study of Acts with my church family on Wednesday nights--I've learned so much!

31. planning for some family time
32. comfortable bed
33. warm socks on cold mornings
34. godly parents
35. my Sunday School class

As for #21 and 29….
Thankful for YOU and Diet Mt Dew! …..
As for #25…
I enjoy their excitement when I arrive each day.
As for #27….
I am thankful for a wife that enjoys using them! You, “R”, and “D” do a great job on the home. I really believe this goes with helping everyone stay healthy (#28).
I enjoyed reading your list.
I hope you have a great day!
Love,
“Hubbie”

Looks like Ann’s linky may not go up today – so I thought – where can I go to get some thankfuls – and I came here ƪ(◠‿◠)╯

And my favorite one you your list today was: 35. my Sunday School class – because my best moments ever from church are not from the sermons, not in the big gathering – but in the little ones, the after service stuff – the small groups – and Sunday Schools. {smile}

May God Bless and Keep you and make his to face shine upon you and yours.
