“Let Israel be glad in his Maker; let the children of Zion rejoice in their King! Let them praise his name with dancing, making melody to him with tambourine and lyre! For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; he adorns the humble with salvation.” ~ Psalm 149:2-4 (ESV –emphasis mine)
Do you like dancing? I do! Especially when it comes to praising my Lord. Sunday morning was beautiful at the Sunrise service. Although it was cold, I could not help but dance before my Lord. My heart was filled with joy knowing that He saved me from myself. Here is my grateful heart for this week – oh Lord…
- Lord – I am thankful that You gave up the throne for a little while; to take the punishment for me. Thank You for saving me. I am looking forward to the day when I can dance all day long before You – praise You name forever and ever in Your presence…
- Lord – thank You for enabling us to leave town overnight last week to spend some time away from the daily hustle and bustle. The get-away refreshed my heart and made my feet lighter..
- Lord – thank You for spending time with me every morning in my little ‘sanctuary’. Although I would rather dance than drive, but that would be too dangerous. So I sing to You instead. I love how You give me strength and focus every day for work…
- Lord – thank You for my beloved. I am so glad that You have placed him in my life. My beloved makes me laugh and dance inside. I am always excited when I get home…
- Lord – thank You for the incredible community of Christian women bloggers that meet here every Thursday to praise Your name. No matter if we are in the valley or on the mountain top. You help us realize that we are a blessed bunch…
- And Lord – thank You for sending an additional writer for the devotional team blog. I praise You that You have given Tiffany peace to join us. It made me dance the ‘giggy’ last night…
My precious Thankful Thursday ‘bunch’ – what are you thankful for today? You might be going through the valley, but know that He is there with you. So, please share with us what you are thankful for this week. Even if it is just the smallest blessing…If you have written your thankful post, please link below. Make sure the link is valid, because I don’t check the links usually until I transfer them to be permanent on Saturday morning.
Thanks for stopping by today – and remember: there is always a reason to dance before the Lord – He is worthy of our praise, because of His love for us…

Hi there, I am so excited because you host a Thankful Thursday! Believe it or not, I have been doing this also on my blog for a least 2 months … but had no idea that there was someone out there hosting it. So, I would love to be added to your list … a guess great minds think alike (smile)! I am so thankful for you … the Thankful Thursday host!
hey sister!!! we ran away too! a little hunny-getaway is sooooo important. it renews perspective. And i need as much perspective as i can gather. 🙂
Wow this list gets longer all the time. I’m thankful that it is all well with you. Congratulations on the additional writer.
What a pleasure it has been to receive several nice comments and to read such encouraging posts from many of you about gratitude (will try to get around and read more). I just love this meme–it’s great to have a time to focus each week on what I’m thankful for, and then to be able to share in it with others!
Blessings to you all,
Janet
I know I will love this meme in the weeks and months to come.
