“And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.”
~ Colossians 3:14-15 (ESV ~ emphasis mine)

How was your Thanksgiving? I hope you were able to rest some. I know that many of you had family time. I think it is marvelous that at least once a year we slow down to be thankful around the table with extended family…

I have to admit, that praising Him, being thankful at least once a week has changed my attitude. Being grateful/thankful every single day – sharing it every week, became not an attitude, but a way of life. Don’t you have to agree?

Here is my list for this week of thanksgiving to share with you all…

  • Thank You Lord for giving me something on a daily basis to be thankful for. You have changed my attitude toward gratitude…

  • Thank You Lord for the time I had with my beloved last week. It was wonderful to have 4 days off together. No getting up early on Friday – YEAH!!!!

  • Thank You Lord for the time we had with Daniel and Sarah last Friday. It was wonderful to go to dinner, have some time together as a family…

  • Thank You Lord for the time we had with my in-laws on Thursday. It was nice to see them…

  • Thank You Lord for friends. I don’t know what I would do without them. They prayers, encouragements are daily reminders for Your faithfulness this side of Heaven…

  • Thank You Lord for your Word. It is wonderful to have a power-verse every single week to memorize. So far (only two weeks into the program), I am doing well having the verses ‘written’ on my heart…

  • Thank You Lord for Your daily provision and some extra provision that I am able to share my blessings with others…

  • Thank You Lord for Your continued blessings on Laced with Grace. When I tend to see black, You always provide what we need. Your timing is always perfect. Lord, help me to trust and don’t get discouraged…

  • And Lord, I am thankful for this community of Thankful bloggers that have come together every week to share their blessings with others on the Internet…

What are you thankful for this week? Please do share with us by leaving your link below. Please let me know if you are having trouble with Mr. Linky. There were issues couple weeks ago, and this week. I hope not today…

Thank you for stopping by today; remember: thankfulness can became a way of life – give it a try 😉 …

Each week I look forward to it and look for something unique to write about to share my thanks with others. So far the list has not run out … His blessings are more than I can contain. Happy TT!

  6. A very nice list of thanks. #6 resonated with me. A power verse each week. Is this something you are doing on your own or is this a blog thing? I agree with you TT leads me to stop and give thanks for God’s goodness. Be Blessed and have a wonderful TT

  17. TT is one good opportunity to count our blessings and being able to appreciate what the Lord has done in our lives. Thank you for providing this opportunity.

  27. I am with you on the benefits of consciously making an effort to give thanks every week… it has changed my outlook and my attitude, and made me aware of how much in my life I have to be thankful for that I often take for granted. Thanks for allowing the Lord to use you to bring thankfulness in abundance into our lives!

    Blessings!
