“I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart,
and I will glorify your name forever.”
~ Psalm 86:12 (ESV)
This week, we are meeting at my friend Lynn’s website “Spiritually Unequal Marriage“. This will be the last time my dear friend Lynn is hosting the event. It saddens my heart, but I know that God is moving mighty in Lynn’s life…Lynn, I will always be thankful for your friendship!!!!
I had a perfect day today. Sleeping a little later than normal, having my morning devotions as usual (including my first coffee)…Having breakfast with my husband. Yes, I took the day off work :). I had an appointment at the USCIS office to get my alien status renewed so that I can stay in the United States.
I am thankful that my sweetheart agreed to go with me; I was a little nervous. But the people at the Phoenix USCIS office were so nice!!!! And it was quick to get through the lines to get my fingerprints and photo taken.
After the appointment, my sweetheart and I stayed in Phoenix for several hours. We had an incredible lunch at Sam’s Cafe at the Arizona Center. I think the restaurant will become one that we will visit often when in Phoenix.
We also went through down-town Phoenix to take photographs. Phoenix has changed so much over the past 20 years we live here. The city is still changing, but thankfully they are keeping some of the landmarks in tact like the Luhrs Tower.
Yes, today was a perfect day…and that my friends I am thankful for.
Thank you for stopping by today. Remember: take every day a gift and be thankful.
Love and peace,
Iris
Wow! What a beautiful day! Spending time with Christ always starts that day out great…and then to be able to spend the rest with your husband during the week is an treat! Thanks for sharing your joy with us!
Blessings, Joan
Hello Iris, this truly does sound like a perfect day. Any day that starts with sleeping in late, a cup of coffee and my Bible is a pretty good indication that it’s gonna be a good, good day 🙂 Thanks for sharing.
Love your perfect day–low key time with your husband. That’s my perfect day too. Praise God for great marriages.
It sounds like a great day! Have a great weekend.
I loved reading about your perfect day Iris! And how thankful I am for the outcome of your status. Praise God!
I love Sam’s Cafe and have enjoyed sitting outside on their patio many times. What a perfect time of year to do so with the temperatures cooling a bit.
I hope you post some of your downtown Phoenix photos. It seems I’ve not gone downtown much lately but you may convince me it’s worth the time. 🙂
Love you,
Debbie
