“So Abraham called the name of that place, “The Lord will provide”; as it is said to this day, “On the mount of the Lord it shall be provided.””
~ Genesis 22:14 (ESV ~ emphasis mine)
Ha – so my post from last week disappeared, except the Bible passage and the links to the participants. I wonder what happened? I tell you – this blogging business can be very tricky. I wonder if I can find my post from last week…
This week I am thankful for His provision in my life. It boggles my mind sometimes how generous our Lord is. Specifically I am thankful for…
- Thank you Lord for given me Your Word so I may always find the comfort I need when I am down…
- I am thankful that the Lord is helping me to keep focus what is really important in life. Although my job is really demanding and I don’t agree with some of what is happening, I am content (only through prayer…)…
- I am thankful for our house, food, running water. I always take these things for granted, but there are some without…
- I am thankful that the Lord grants me health. I have seen so many people being sick – I have been fairly healthy all my life…
- I am thankful that the Lord gave me thoughts on a devotion I wrote on Monday night. I was totally empty, but He filled me up – thank you sweet Jesus…
- I am thankful that I had patience to up-grade the devotional blog manually last weekend (although it gave me some more gray hairs…). I don’t like messing with up-grades, but they are necessary…
- I am thankful that the Lord provided some additional writers for Laced with Grace. I will let you know next week who the new writers are 😛 . I am also thankful that one of my sweet friends will be returning to write for Laced with Grace next month. Laurel – it means a lot to me that you are…
- And last but not least I am thankful that the Lord has placed such a patient husband by my side…

Ah sweet friend, you bless me. I too am thankful for God watching me every step of the way. I appreciate dishwashwers, boys who put the dishes away, and food to eat at night =) It is the things we don’t think about until they are gone. Have a wonderful day!!
We are on the same page this week….the PROVIDENCE of God…all around us…
your list is wonderful…so genuine and real…that is what we LOVE about you!!
Have a Happy Thursday!
hugs,

Oh amen! Gotta be thankful for running water, power and food. They are things we take for granted when other third world countries don’t have those luxuries.
Iris,
Every week, I feel like I am right in sync with you. Your thankful heart always encourages me. Awesome post. Love you.
Good Evening Iris,
“HAPPY THANKFUL THURSDAY” once again except it’s early. I just wanted to let you know that I have my “THANKFUL THURSDAY” post ready to be published early in the morning. I have it saved for tonight as I will have to add a few more things in the morning, but it will be posted around 5:00a.m. to 5:30a.m. I so enjoyed your “THANKFUL THURSDAY” list. I have the one about the utilities posted as well. We all take those things for granted and there are people out there that don’t even have what we have. Take care my friend and have a great evening. May God Bless You and Yours.
Love & Hugs,
Karen H.
happy thursday to you!!! and a thankful one at that!
🙂 enjoy your “last day before the weekend!” xo
Hi Iris,
Thanks once again for hosting Thankful Thursday. I’m so thankful for YOU! I enjoyed your story on CWO.
So blessed things are going well for you. Great list!
Blessings?
God’s providence is just amazing and so abounding! Thanks for your testimony of all the ways He’s provided for you this week.
Iris, I’m inspired by your list. You are right.. there are so many things we take for granted. If we keep our focus on GOD and all that HE has done we will quickly find our blessings are endless… AMEN? =-)
It’s so awesome that the Lord gives us just what we need for the jobs He’s placed before us. Sorry for the extra gray hairs though! 🙂
Beautiful thankful list dear.
i sometimes don’t like making upgrades, too, but they are indeed necessary. like you, they also add to my already beginning gray hairs! 😉
have a blessed week ahead!
That’s neat that when your mind is blank and you don’t know what to write that God gives you the words to write. It’s great that you’re open to what He wants you to share.
Hi precious friend….rejoicing with you over such a wonderful list this Thursday. I’ve been going through a rough patch and had no real post for TT, so I did something else.
God bless you and keep you smack dab in His unfailing love.
hugs,
Vicki
just what i needed to read/hear – GOD WILL PROVIDE. thanks for sharing and hosting thankful thursday. God bless you and your family always!
What a wonderful list you have made. I, too, am thankful for what God provides.
Thank you for hosting this, Iris!

It amazes me too how God can be so good to me -to us. Oh this remind me to pray for some patience -before I upgrade my blog 🙂
I think it is so wonderful how I wrote on God providing for us and then I popped over here and saw this! God is so good!
I am excited Laurel’s is returning too! Thank you for all you do! Great list as always….
Hello Dear Iris,
Yes, to have health is such a gift indeed. Everyday that we feel strong and healthy, we should remember the Lord and tell Him Thank you, Thank you!! Have an amazing week.
Hey Iris. I’m so thankful that God gives us encouragement when we need to be lifted up. Just yesterday, I asked God for encouragement for my honey and I. And God is so very very faithful. By last night He had brought the encouragement that we needed. Bless you for sharing today. And thanks for hosting this special day.
Thank you for such a sweet post. Thanks so much for hosting this wonderful day. God Bless you!
Thank you for hosting this special day and for your post. Blessings.
I am thankful for this platform you give us each week to remember the things from which we are thankful. I am so blessed when God gives me words to write too. What a blessing!
I realized this week too that there are SO many things that I take for granted. Yet everything I have comes from the Lord!
Thank you for hosting this. Thankful Thursday has blessed my life so much! I think last week’s post was about Truth. It was recent if not last week. I have seen several stories that made me think about that this week. I hope you have a good weekend.
Great list of thankfuls! I am so glad that He is my provider. Always faithful!
Iris…I am thankful for *you* and your spirit of thankfulness that always inspires and encourages me! Praying for a wonderful week for you…
Yes, it’s so easy to take the basics (food, shelter, clothing, etc.) for granted. We are so fortunate. Blessings to you this coming week!
it’s not late to be thankful.
my heart is overflowing with thankfulness also.
i thank you for making me a grateful soul.

Love your theme on providence. Indeed, He provides all we need and so much more, how blessed we are. I’m thankful for the chance to thank Him publically, and witness other thankful hearts that give Him all the glory. His peace and joy to each of you this week.
Who could ever understand the ways of bloggy world? I’m just thankful it has led me to you! (Even if it does eat up our words sometimes!)
Happy Thursday!
It is exciting when we see God working in our lives! He has been teaching me this week some wonderful insights on education that will be such a blessing to our homeschooling! We serve a very good God! Thanks for your post!
Very nice list. I am thanking God for the little things this week!
Kelley
I am touched that I was able to finally join this wonderful meme and my first one is a bit similar to yours.
I hope I be able to meet new friends who are also thankful for the Lord’s blessings that come their way…
God bless everyone!
So many beautiful thanks! God is so good and yes, he is the most awesome provider!
Blessings!
I love Thursday because everywhere I go, I find such nice lists like this, Iris.
I’ve had a few jobs where the only thing that got me through was prayer. Ugh.
Wonderful list Iris. It is amazing what we see when we look through the lens of a grateful heart. I always enjoy your lists. They remind me of what I too have to be thankful for.
Thank you so much for sharing what you are thankful for this Thursday! It’s so nice to take the time to share how much God is blessing us!
Much love,
Angie xoxo
Just found your blog and love the Thankful Thursday theme.
God Bless….
Thank You Iris, for continuing the Thankful Thursdays. It is a day of reflection for me and really helps me to look at all the things positive in my life. I enjoyed your list and love that you always include that you are thankful for your husband. A wifes heart always shows here at you place. Be blessed,
Stacy
His love and His blessings are innumerable. It’s great to have a chance to note some of them each week.
