Thankful Thursday ~ Random

“Sing praises to the LORD, O you his saints,
and give thanks to his holy name.” ~ Psalm 30:4 (ESV)

First I want to thank the visitors last week who took part in the poll for Christmas Day. Although it was tight (22 – in favor to 17), I will be hosting Thankful Thursday on Christmas Day 😛 .

Lets do something special for Christmas Day. I would like you to think back (way back for some of us – 😆 ). I would love for you to share with us a Christmas from you childhood – what stayed in your mind all these years…what you are thankful for…

This week I want to share just some random thoughts, if you don’t mind…

  • Lord, I am thankful for Your pure awesomeness. Although often I think I am worth nothing; to You I am worth everything. You sent Your One and Only Son to die for my sins…

  • Lord, thank You for my beloved. Although he does not enjoy clothes-shopping, he goes with me so I don’t have to go alone…

  • Lord, thank You for ‘clearing’ my calendar so I could finish up the book “3:16” – what a marvelous read. Thank You for using Max Lucado to really show me what John 3:16 truly means – that you are giving everyone the same chance to believe through the gift of Your Holy Spirit…

  • Lord, I am thankful for the Laced with Grace team you have assembled for 2009. We are all excited for what You will do through this ministry…

  • Last, but not least, Lord I am thankful for the Thankful Thursday community this past year. I know that because of them, I have kept my focus on You and Your goodness…

What are you thankful for this week? Please do share with us in leaving your link below.

Thank you for stopping by today…Remember: The Lord is awesome and His love endures forever…

  1. Lovely list. We do have much for which to be thankful, don’t we?

    My bff got a heart transplant on Monday. What a wonderful gift for her and her family. On a sadder note, we do realize that there is a family who just lost a loved one right before the holidays.

  2. Oooooh, Iris. What a great idea about Christmas – past… I am going to have to see if I can find some pictures of me by the aluminum tree… The chalk board I wanted and the aquarium….

    Fantastic… What fun… I can’t wait. Even though it will be Christmas… I can see myself at the end of the day settling down on the couch. Content and happy with the day the Lord gave and visiting my sisters on Christmas day. What a blessing.

    Love you girl.. PS. I, too, am thrilled about the LWG team. Hugs.

  11. I already had a thought—when I read your words. It may seem a strange one to some—but it’s one that ‘sticks in mind’. I love and appreciate you dear friend!
    Thanks for not giving up on me!

  18. Oh, Iris, I love the idea for next week, with the past Christmas. I’ve already taken a happy little jaunt down memory lane!

    As always, thanks so much for TT… it mostly always takes me the whole week to read all of the posts so it is like a continual week-long blessing!

  27. Iris, I’m so thankful for you and the privilege of being on the LWG Team!! I, too, can’t wait to see what the Lord has in store for us this year.

    I love your idea for Christmas day. That’s something I can post ahead and just click on to link up. Then I can visit everyone and read another day. Thank you for your creative thought here!
