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)

Wow – Thanksgiving is already next week. Hm…where did this year go?

Before I share my random list with you today, I would like you to know that I will not be hosting Thankful Thursday next week. You might wonder “why not?”. Oh, I have my reason 😛 …I will be still sharing my grateful heart with you next week, but I am participating in Heather’s “Giving Thanks on Thanksgiving 08”. I hope you will join us next week at Heather’s place. Regular Thankful Thursday will be back after Thanksgiving 😛 …

So, here is my list for this week…

  • I am thankful that I am loved by the King of kings. He loved me so much that He gave His one and only Son to die for me…

  • I am thankful for my beloved. I am so glad that he puts up with my clumsiness. Can you believe that I spilled coffee all over him? Well, I did. I think I am sometimes too much in a hurry — note to self “slow down”…

  • I am thankful for showers. Not only do they get me clean, but it is my favorite time of prayer…

  • I am thankful for a brand new Bible study by Beth Moore. I am very excited about it, because it has individual video lessons. The study is about the book of Esther. I am currently reading the Scripture passages. I am planning to do the study in January. Maybe a blog-study in Spring of 2009. But only God knows if that will happen…

  • I am thankful for a wonderful project the Lord has put on my heart. Most of you know that I am doing some digital scrapping (when I have time – hm – not so much lately). Anyway, I am working on a Faithbook – A-Z. I plan on having in professionally printed. The best part: my beloved is excited with me 😛 . I might share some pages here on my blog over the next several months…

  • I am thankful that next week is Thanksgiving — I only have to work 3 days next week – YEAH (can you see my jiggy dance 😆 ) …

  • And last but not least, I am thankful that one of my co-workers is back at work. That means that my work-load will get lighter – hopefully…

What are you thankful for this week? Please do share with us in leaving your link below…Before you ‘run’ off, would you do me a favor? It is Denise’s birthday – I hope you have some time to stop by her blog to wish her a wonderful birthday 🙂 ?

Thanks for stopping by. Remember: You are beautiful, you are loved and you are His. If I don’t ‘see’ you next – Have a blessed Thanksgiving.

  26. You have a wonderful list of things you’re thankful for. I can’t believe next week is Thanksgiving again either. Next thing you know it will be the 4th of July. I say this every year and sure enough that’s the way it is. Happy Thankful Thursday to you and Happy Thanksgiving next week.

If that’s the case, could you send me a quick comment or email to let me know if I didn’t follow a rule correctly?

  37. Hey Iris, I left a comment yesterday but I left it on the wrong post! Ooops! Sorry! Anyway, you have a great post, and I truly love the scripture. I’m not sure what happened to the Mr Linsky thing but I resigned my name, I hope I didn’t do it twice. Thanks so much for hosting! Happy Thankful Thursday and Happy Thanksgiving to you!
