Thankful Thursday ~ Praise

“He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the Lord.”
~ Psalm 40:3 (ESV)

Although today was a rather frustrating day at work and some minor glitches with my web-hosting company, I choose to praise His name. His name is above any other name – the King of kings – Lord of lords. Here is my thankful list for this week–chime in with me 😛 …

  • I am thankful that the Lord puts a new song on my lips every single day. No matter how the day goes, how yucky I might feel…He alone is worthy of my praise
  • I am thankful that I received Crystal’s CD yesterday in the mail — oh, girls, if you have not ordered yet, I encourage you to get it. Praising Him with Crystal is something worth while…
  • I am thankful that Darlene had encouraging words for me over the last couple of days. Speaking of Darlene…She has a neat little contest going on her blog AND you can win an IPod Shuffle. Check it out …

  • I am thankful that I am able to take a shower anytime I like…
  • I am thankful that we have food on the table every.single.day …
  • I am thankful that my Sweetheart still loves me and desires me, even though I’ll be 47 in four week *sigh*…
  • I am thankful that I have a roof over my head and don’t have to sleep under the stars…
  • I am thankful for friends who are encouraging and praying for me, especially when I am down …
  • AND of course I am very, very thankful that my vacation is nearing — only 4 more weeks to go YEAH!!!!

What are you thankful for this week? Please do share with us. Link below (and make sure the link works – pretty please). Also, when you have time on the weekend, please try to visit the ‘late-comers’…

Now I just have to write a good schedule for LWG’s devotional team so that I don’t get myself into a pickle again 😀 . Speaking of LWG — when you think of the team, would you pray for us? That we continue to let His light shine…Thanks a bunch.

Blessings on your Thursday and as always…

  1. Girlfriend! Amen to all of those. I praise God so often for my hot shower. My sweatheart still (all that stuff you said blush)…even though I’m 56. Blessings on you and I hope you can rest after 3 hosting dealies in a row! yikes.

  2. Hey Iris! Wow, 4 more weeks till vacation and the birthday! How awesome! I know you have been looking forward to it for some time now…gets closer all the time. Will be praying for LWG and for you in making the schedule.
    Have a blessed day!

  3. He alone is worthy of our praise!! Amen!! Counting down vacation just causes the anticipation to grow. And a birthday coming too. You need to celebrate, girl! Blessings on your day.

  4. We had some problems with our internet provider a couple of hours ago, too! I mean, it was tooo slow! well, that did give me the chance to get away from the computer and take a nap! 🙂

    thank you for starting this TT, Iris! 🙂
    Blessings always …

  5. I enjoy THankful Thursday! It’s a good “pause” in the week to just write about what I am thankful to, and introduces me to new friends! Thanks!

  6. Great list of some things we take for granted more often than not.

    Gosh, it is almost birthday time! My anniversary is this week… two short days away… Joe changed vacation to next week tho because of the kids school schedule…

  7. I am so glad you have a good time to look forward to. And I guess it is going to line up with your birthday. What fun!
    A new song in our hearts–that is a good thing.

  8. Awesome list. I think I’ll play too this week. I always have so much to be thankful for. 🙂

    I got Crystal’s CD too yesterday. I loved the Amazing Grace version that they had.

  9. So sweet your TT.
    I remember a fashion song in Chinese named,there is sweet words about the most romantic thing in lyric which is ” the most romantic thing is to grow old with you together till we could not walk to anywhere, you still regards me as your beloved treasue in your hand.” So beautiful, is not it. I wish you and your husband experience this most romantic thing. And of course the Lord will strengten you to go to everywhere you want even you are really old after so so so many years later…:)

  10. I agree with your thankfuls!—However…since my hubby isn’t sure when he can take vacation…..I haven’t put mine on the calendar yet!
    Have a blessed day/weekend

  11. Psalm 40:3 is part of one of my favorite Bible passages…Psalm 40:1-5. Thank you for bringing it to the forefront of my mind today!

    I just posted giving you a Blogger Reflection Award at my blog. I know that it is far from the first for you, but I had to include you anyway! You have been such an encouragement to me, and I am thankful for *you*!

  12. I am a new blogger and tried last week to participate in TT but had to get some help from my friend Susanne… so this is my first week and I have been looking forward to it all week long. Well, I work at night and last night, I had one of my friends just throw me in the dirt and kick sand in my face. I came home with a burdened heart and God used TT to pick me back up! I am thankful for this ministry.

  13. I am happy to have found this meme because it motivates me to stop to think…really thing…about things I’m thankful for…large or small…spectacular or ordinary.

  14. Hi Iris, I think it always lifts the spirit when we choose to praise. Good for you!! I’m glad your vacation is almost here. That’s really something to look forward to. Your thankful heart always blesses mine.

  15. Wow, I really needed this. Thanks for hosting Thankful Thursday, I look forward to participating every week. It was my first time and it couldn’t have come at a better time.

    Rean Day

  16. I am so looking forward to Crystal’s CD! Iris….we must have very close birthdays! Mine is in 4 weeks as well and I will be 47! Maybe we are twins!

  17. Wow, looks like I’m not the only first-timer! That was a wonderful list and a terrific reminder that we choose to let problems get to us, or choose to remember that we serve a Sovereign Lord who’s in control! Looking forward to making my way through the list (over the next couple days, I’m sure…slow computer!)

  18. I just love Thankful Thursdays!!! Your thankful list is always such a blessing to me!! Thanks for the heads up for Darlene’s contest, and the reminder that I need to get Crystal’s CD!!! Thanks for hosting this for us, and HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!

  19. Oh, the song on your lips… despite how terrible the day may seem…but God makes a difference. That’s so true. And I’m glad.

    I like it a lot about your partner loving and desiring you despite the age. Sweet. It truthfully brought a smile on my face.

    And how good it is you have a vacation in the offing. Great. Sure I could use one too. lol
