Oh.my.goodness! Is it just me, or do the weeks truly just fly by any more? I can’t believe that Christmas is around the corner…
Here is my thankful list for this week — just gonna ‘throw’ some random thoughts at you today…
- I am thankful for God’s unconditional love. No matter what I have done, or where I have been — He washed everything away. I am as white as snow because of the blood of the Lamb…
- I am thankful for God’s daily provision…
- I am thankful that my post at LWG had a more positive response than I thought I would have. God is good – He can take my feeble writing attempts and turn it into something positive…
- I am thankful that my Sweetheart loves me — not matter what. Even when I get a little crazy or I am just plain silly π …
- I am thankful that our son is enjoying being on his own AND that he calls us – PTL….
- I am thankful that I got a call from my former employer — they miss me…
- I am thankful for sweet friends who gave awards to Sting my Heart and Laced with Grace. I hope that I will be able to post about it by Sunday…
- I am thankful for awesome friends who made my birthday really, really special…
- I am thankful for Mugs of Truth. Not only did Greg and his wife sent me a very cool purse and cup for my birthday, but I like what Greg shared with me: “I love the Word of Godβ¦it has changed my life, and He has given me a deep desire to share His Word and make ways for others to share His Word, and the coffee mugs have provided the perfect vessel upon which to do this.” That is why I like articles with Scripture passages on them. I love carrying my Scripture purses–people will know Who I belong to–it is not a secret. Thank you Greg for your wonderful ministry–may our Lord continue bless your ministry. BTW – the mugs are really cool — my Sweetheart coveth my awesome “Son-Rise” cup…
- AND I am thankful for the time I was able to spend with my Sweetheart last week…

I am thankful for reading your lovely tt again. I am thankful for Jesus who lead us walk together here. I came back to my hometown yesterday, a sweet time with my family members. I enjoy it.

Thank you most of all for exposing your beautiful heart.

hi, belated happy birthday to you .God bless you and your family!
First of, happy birthday. I’m sure the vacation was a blast.
Second, I like this one: “I am thankful that my Sweetheart loves me β not matter what. Even when I get a little crazy or I am just plain silly. ” This echoes what’s in my heart. And I’m silly and crazy..and much more..yet my BH loves me. And God loves me.
so wonderful to give thanks to all the blessings that we have received, and still continue to receive. π
God Bless
Wow! My heart overflows with gratitude to our great and loving God!!! Have a blessed day!

I am a day late with this post. I was able to finish most of my shopping for Christmas this week. Yes, time is passing fast. The announcer on the radio said 82 more shopping days until Christmas. But when I look at my calendar and the things coming up, I know that it pays to shop early. Besides, I hate crowds.
Blessings and happy belated Birthday.

I love that you were thankful over your post response…Sometimes I think we are afraid to admit how much we want to hear that what we have written really meant something to someone. I thought my post at CWO this past week was one of the stupidest ever and yet more people responded than I’d ever anticipated.
No matter what, I know God Himself is so pleased with every woman out there who is doing whatever she can with whatever audience she has been given to spread His fame. His affirmation is ENOUGH! π
Much love to you, Iris! π
p.s. I’ve got a big ‘ole Bible study giveaway going on at my blog you might want to check out .:)
