“You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; you have loosed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness,
that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever!”
~ Psalm 30:11-12 (ESV ~ emphasis mine)
- I am thankful that my Lord does turn my mourning into dancing. If I am down and frustrated, I know that I can turn to Him for comfort–He brings my feet to dancing…
- I am thankful that my Sweetheart took the time last week to drive out east to take some pictures. That gives me many Wordless Wednesday pictures…
- I am thankful that I make it to and from work in one piece. I tell ya–some mornings I just want to pull over and walk the rest to work (its just a long way–13 miles each way). Like today…Everyone was but paying attention to traffic. They either drove 10 miles below the speed-limit, put make-up on while driving, talk on the phone, or watch TV…So, that I made without a scratch made me praise for the rest of the day…
- I am thankful for a wonderful Blogging community. Many make me shout praises that I have ‘met’ them…
- I am thankful that we always have enough money for food. Although I am not a big eater (my Sweetheart gets mad at me sometimes), there is enough food for my guys…
- I am thankful that I finally found some time to finish Darlene’s book (review of the book is hopefully written by Sunday). I know I have mentioned it on this blog several times–it is just a great book. Right, Laurel? If you have time today, check out Darlene’s interview with Cindy Swanson. Darlene is fun to listen to ~ eh (sorry Darlene – just couldn’t resist)…
- I am thankful for the phone-plan we have. It costs my $25 a month and I can call anywhere within the US, Canada and Germany without having to pay/minute…Yeah for flat fees…
Today I would like to ask you for a favor (before you leave your link or comment about your thankfulness). Would you please pray for a couple of on-line sisters? Please say a prayer for Heather and for ampraisingHim? I really would appreciate it….So, what are you thankful for this week? Please share with me your link, your thoughts…and visit other participants. I promise you–it will bless your socks off.
Oh, before I forget–I am thankful for YOU, my beloved visitors…
Blessings on your day and as always…

Ok, I have a few more people to pray for. I couldn’t get onto Heather’s blog for some reason, but I’ll try again later. Thanks for posting a link, you hoser!
Can’t open Heather’s blog either. Maybe late this afternoon. Your list of thankfuls are just great. I love about always having money to buy food. Yes many of us do not even thank the Lord for the food we eat.
I have lifted up both of your prayer requests. Thank you for pointing them both out. I felt God working their posts.
Blessings to you Iris for all that you do!
P.S. Thank you for sending me your Bible reading schedule:)
Thank you for lifting up others in need. Prayer chains are a wonderful, beautiful thing.
It’s wonderful to hear such thankfulness every week! I’m glad you do this.
{{hugs}}
God is good 🙂
Bless your Sweetheart
Isnt the blogging community great
Have a good week 🙂
Praying for Heather and and ampraisingHim
I am praying!! The blogging community is wonderful! Loved reading your thankfuls!
Thank you for this Thankful Thursday.
I stopped by heathers and ampraisingHim to ler them know I am praying for them.
You’re so sweet to think of others first–I’m praying for both of them.
I love your thankfuls—the driving one made me laugh after the week I’ve had. It drives me batty when people are on their phones or putting on make-up or READING while driving.
Can’t wait to see more of your photos from your trip!
I’m thankful for God’s affirmation. He has showed me repeatedly these past couple f weeks how my words have helped people. I am blessed and He gets all the glory!
It’s a good deal!
Thanks for the prayer requests. I’m thankful that I don’t have to drive to and from work any longer!!
Blessings Iris.
I always enjoy reading your lists and your thankful thoughts. Great list.
Yes, I’m thankful too, that He turns my mourning into dancing. We have much to be thankful for when we remember our heritage in Him.
Darlene’s book is a must read for mothers, it is soothing to the soul =) I am enjoying it, I am half way done.
And I know the traffic of what you speak, makes me thankful I am in a small town now.
Your phone plan sounds awesome. Have a great Thrusday.
Darlene’s book? Haven’t heard of this. Must check this out this weekend. My bestfriend’s daughter just gave birth and this must be a good gift to give.
Cheers to your day!
I’m thankful for your list, Iris! I wrote something about commuting in my own list of thanfulnesses today. Looking forward to your book review, as I’m always hungry for new things to read.
Iris,
Great list. I echo many. I am thankful for YOU!! Blessings my Sis, Love and hugs, Lynn
I love your list sweety. I will be praying for Heather&raisingHim.
Thankful for you too, Iris!
Blessings! Betty
Wonderful scripture and God does indeed give us so much to sing, dance and praise him for. What a great list! Thank you for passing on the prayer needs!
God Bless!
Thank you so much for hosting this Iris. It lifts my heart to both write and read the posts on thankfulness.
What a wonderful list of thanfulness. I am thankful for our flat rate long distance as well!!!!
Thank you for sharing your thankful heart with us. It’s such an encouragement!
And “here, here” on the flat-rate calling plans. Love mine!
I am late today. Even though I wrote last night I haven’t had a chance till now to stop by! I so agree with the traffic. So far my drive hasn’t been too bad but it is a log amount of time for such a short trip!
Sure wish I had more time to read all who participate today but I will try to stop in on a few between now and next Thursday!
I’ll be praying and thank you for a wonderful idea. Loved your post. ;D
I was thankful yesterday for friends who showed up unexpectedly!
I kinda posted a Thankful Thursday along with a continuing post on contentment!
There is so much to be thankful for. My heart is full!
Kim
