Thankful Thursday ~ Random II

Today I just want to jot down some random thankful notes. I am always giddy when I write my thankful posts. Although there are some things I truly miss, the Lord has blessed me with many things here in the US. I shall remember all the blessings when I feel ‘blue’…

“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord.
He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.” ~ Jeremiah 17:7-8 (ESV)

  • Lord, I am thankful that You have planted me here in the desert to seek Your living water and receive life…
  • I am thankful for my Sweetheart who still really, really likes me and does have the desire to be married to me…
  • I am thankful that my Sweetheart has a job so we can pay our mortgage, car payments…
  • I am thankful for the laundry that I am folding, because that means that we have clothes to wear…
  • I am thankful that I have fresh fruit and vegetable available to purchase whenever I feel like it…
  • I am thankful for my alarm, because it means that I have a job (even when I grumble sometimes)…
  • I am thankful for our son; that he has a job and enjoys is (most days)…
  • I am thankful that I can take a shower any time I need to feel refreshed…
  • I am thankful that the weather has been really great this spring (still nice and cool)…
  • I am thankful that I can read the Bible in many languages or Bible translations on the Internet (great for research)…
  • I am thankful for my laptop and wireless card, because I can write this post in the living room in my comfy chair…
  • I am thankful that I won baseball tickets last week–gives us the chance to see the ballpark from the inside on Friday night…
  • I am thankful for Digital Freebies–this week’s link for digi-scrappers 😛 . They have every Friday a Freebie and sometimes some really cool deals in the Boutique

Thankful Thursday ~ Thankful Heart…

“And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.”
~ Colossians 3:14-16 (ESV emphasis mine)

Have you ever had days where you feel like you just want to burst? I don’t know if I have too much caffeine in my body, or am just really, really thankful??? Well, here is my thankful list for this week:

  • I am thankful that God places women in my life that love Him as much as I do…Have you heard about Cyndi? She is going to China on a mission. Isn’t that cool? Also, I finally connected with some believers in Christ at work–really cool. Thank you Lord…
  • I am thankful that my Sweetheart was able to go to the dentist yesterday. He had an infection, but the dentist was able to help him…My Sweetheart is feeling much better, which in turn makes me feel better…
  • I am thankful for our new mattress. I know, I know…I mentioned it last week, but hey – I finally get some good sleep (hm – maybe that is why I am so bouncy 😉 )…
  • I am thankful for our house…I know that I never mention it. I am so glad that we have a roof over our heads…
  • I am thankful that I won these in a raffle at work…

    Baseball Tickets

    Yeah – my Sweetheart and I are going to the ballpark on April 27th. Diamondbacks vs. Giants–we are in the dugout-box. How cool is that?
  • Last but not least, I am thankful for free resources for digi-scrapping. I will share with you a free resource each week…(have I mentioned that I am addicted to digi-scrapping?). This week’s resource: Scrap Girls. They have freebies and great tips on digi-scrapping…

Thankful Thursday ~ Praising

“Let us rejoice and be glad and give the glory to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come and His bride has made herself ready.” It was given to her to clothe herself in fine linen, bright and clean; for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. Then he said to me, “Write, ‘Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb ‘” And he said to me, “These are true words of God.” Revelation 19:7-9 (NASB)

I know, I know, I just had “Praise” in my thankful post in February, but just thinking about His great love for us…there is nothing else that I can do, right? So, here is my ‘praise thankfulness’ for this week…

  • I am thankful that God still loves me. Even though I fall short every single day, Christ has covert my sin with His blood. And believe me, I am more than ready to sit down at the long supper table that the Lamb has prepared for us…
  • I am thankful for Lisa’s beautiful Blog Bible study–which she wrote. If you have not read her first lesson on “I AM – so you don’t have to be“, I encourage you to read it. What a blessings. I am praising Him that He has crossed Lisa’s path with mine 😛 …
  • I am thankful that I have decided against the new laptop. We got a new mattress for our bedroom instead. Oh, how heavenly the new mattress is. We sleep so much deeper now. No more achy bones when we get up in the morning. I told my Sweetheart that it is more comfy to sleep on a new mattress than on a laptop…
  • I am thankful that I am busy at work. I don’t like to be slow. So I keep asking for more work. Not sure it that is wise, but I rather be busy than twiddling my thumbs…
  • I am thankful that my Sweetheart finally convinced me to get my hair cut. I will have to up-date my profile picture soon…
  • I am thankful that we still have very cool weather in the Valley of the Sun. Soon it will be 110+. So for right now I am enjoying the cool 70’s and 80’s. I hope that it will be still cool when I finally meet with Laurel for lunch in May…
  • Last but not least, I am thankful that my Sweetheart is grilling the burgers tonight, so I can finish my thankful post…Oh, do I love this man…

What are you thankful for this week? Did you write your own post? If so, please add your link below. As you time permits, please visit other participants and leave comments. It is such a wonderful thing to see all the thankful hearts around the blogsphere…You all blow me away. We hit almost the 50 mark last week. So, can we hit 50 this week? That would be so cool…

Blessings on your Thursday and as always…
