WOW…I’m first. As usual, a great list Iris. I didn’t do Thankful Thursday, but my post may as well have been a ThT.
Blessings to you my friend.
May get around to a thankfull post later, not sure.
Isn’t it funny how our thankful’s reflect the things we are struggling with (even though, although…)? I am glad you are praising Him in the midst of your struggles and glad that things are working out. HE is an awesome God and will give you His perfect peace.
I too am thankful for what I have and the Blessings the Lord has blessed me with.
Merry Christmas.

Hi Iris!! Just stopping by before getting the kids ready for bed. My nephew is spending the night. Just want to let you know I am thinking of you and your friendship is what I am thankful for 😉
Your hubby is so sweet. It’s hard going to bed early and being the only one getting up for work. Not that I live it anymore, but there were times in our early marriage when he had holidays and I didn’t.
I am thankful you have so much to be thankful for.
My wordless Wednesday photo is just something to help me keep calm during stressful moments. You can find the location for it when you click on the image, I think it’s in Mexico.
Merry Christmas to you and all your family! May you be lifted in the true spirit of God’s love! I am thankful for you!
contentment is an amazing gift.
especially contentment in the midst of swirl and chaos.
i think God’s light shines brighter in those situations. i heard a quote
“light is not recognizable except through darkness”
~jewish proverb
merry christmas iris!
I am thankful for the smiles of my children during this holiday season. Their spirit has me in awe of all the Lord has granted me in allowing me to be their mother.
Woohoo! Congratulations to your son. What an awesome Christmas gift… even though you have to get up REALLY early. I’m also glad you get some time off from work. And I’m glad you get to talk to your Mom anytime.
I’m thankful that most of the preparations for our family Christmas celebration are done! I can cruise now, and truly enjoy the “reason for the season,” from here on out…
Have a blessed and joyful Christmas, Iris. Big Hugs!
