I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart; I will recount all of your wonderful deeds. I will be glad and exult in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
~ Psalm 9:1-2 (ESV)
- I am thankful that God made me, me 🙂 . Sometimes I grumble, but He still loves me. He has given me a sense of humor–He made me in His image. God is making me into a woman I always wanted to be…
- I am thankful for my earthly Dad. Although he is no longer with me, he taught me about the wonderful things in life; what is important and what is not…
- I am thankful for my Sweetheart. He is a wonderful husband and father. Tonight he fixed (with his software) a scanned picture from my dad. It had a big hole–now you can’t see it any longer. I hope that I will get the scrapbook layout done so I can post it on Friday…
- I am thankful for women like Amy and Jenny who create wonderful digital scrapbook kits for people to use–for free. Yeah, I am officially hooked on digital scrap booking. I still have a lot to learn (you should see what my friends TNChick or Amy create *sigh*), but it is always fun to learn new stuff…
- I am thankful for Laurie, who wrote the most wonderful lead-in to one of my devotions I had written for the Internet Cafe. Thank you, Laurie for your kind words…
- I am thankful for Darlene for allowing me to write for the Internet Cafe. It is awesome to be a part of a wonderful community of Christian women…
- I am thankful for the wonderful women over at Laced with Grace…
- I am thankful for Rachael Ray. With her 30-Minute meal ideas, I can put a wonderful, gourmet dish on the table — during the week…
- And I am thankful for you, my wonderful, beloved visitors and readers…
You know why I love Thankful Thursdays? Because even though I had a pretty crummy work-week, I know that I am blessed beyond belief…It makes my heart leap to just sit down and write about those blessings 😛 .
So, what are you thankful for this week? If you have written your own “Thankful Post”, please leave your link below and a quick comment. As I have mentioned before, I don’t get to Mr. Linky until Friday night or Saturday morning. I would love to read your post before than–you always bless me with your thankfulness.
Blessings on your Thursday and as always…

Nice thankfuls! And yes, your digital scrapbooking has been looking awesome!
Blessings! Betty
I’m sorry that your Dad is no longer with you. I am remembering the 10 year anniversary of the loss of my mom. I too love to remember all the wonderful things that she taught me. I wouldn’t be the person that I am today without her careful guidance and love.
I really need to get into digital scrapbooking. I know I would love it once I started, but it’s one of those things that “I need to do”. lol!
Thanks again for hosting Thankful Thursday!
What lovely thanks. I lost my dad also but was thankful for the time I had him in my life. Thank you for your kind words today.
I love your list, you always make my heart smile.
I’m sorry about your dad too, he sounds like he was a wonderful man.
Ahhh…refreshing list! I know I’ve told you this before, but I love Thankful Thursdays! Blesses me greatly! I’ve been enjoying your digital scrapbooking a lot! I think I will also have to check out Rachel Ray’s 30 minute cooking! Blessings!
God is awesome…
Bless your Dad, your Sweetheart and all the wonderful people on the internet and I want to thankyou for hosting this.
Iris, I always enjoy reading all the thankful lists because it is so uplifting. So, here I will add another thankful to you for hosting Thankful Thursdays.
May you have a blessed day!
Iris, I enjoyed reading your list. It is so uplifting!
Good morning, Iris! I’m thankful, too, that God is transforming me. I love your list and, again, am so thankful that you took it upon yourself (along with all the many other things you do) to host Thankful Thursdays.
Blessings to you.
Iris, I love reading Laced with grace too, it is great. Thank you for your list!
Hey Iris! I was just putting together a post. It’s just about one thing that I am thankful for, but I thought of these meme and thought I’d link up today!
like your list, mine’s up too.
I too am thankful that we have Thankful Thursdays especially when I’ve had a couple of crummy days in the week. Today is actually one of them. It gave me a reason to look past the negatives and focus on the simple joys that God sends our way in every hour of the day. God bless you Iris!
Looking forward to seeing that photo of your dad!
Iris,
I love what you said……You know why I love Thankful Thursdays? Because even though I had a pretty crummy work-week, I know that I am blessed beyond belief…It makes my heart leap to just sit down and write about those blessings…
Iris, Amen…. Thank you. Blessings my friend. Love and hugs, Lynn
I miss both my mom and dad. Wanted to call my mom so much last night…
But I’m thankful, just like you are, that God made me the way He did…most of the time I kinda like who I’m becoming…
I liked your list:-)
Thankful Thursday are a highlight of my week! So thankful for you, Iris! God bless…have a great day! 🙂
Wonderful things to be thankful for Iris. And, hey, I’m playing this week 🙂
I love that Photoshop can restore damaged photos. My friends father died and I was able to fix a few for her so the family had keepsakes. It was such an honor to give them that. I’m glad that you have that too.
This is my first time to participate – I am glad I found you guys!!
I am thankful for you…..even though I probably will not participate this week I really enjoy reading other people’s thankful list. Thank you for organizing it!
Blessings
It makes me smile just to read your list. It is a wonderful list. Thank you so much Iris. I look forward to writing my Thankful Thursday post all week. It blesses me so much!!
Now that is a good list. It’s encouraging to see other’s blessings. It reminds me that I’m not the center of the universe — God is.
What a great list! I think everyone is pretty grateful for you as well!
I haven’t had a chance to get over to the new CWO blog…but I understand that there are some great women writing over there!! I am excited that you are being so abundantly blessed.
I’m sorry you had a rough week—work and otherwise but I so agree that Thankful Thursday is something special. I was missing it all day. My entire day felt “off” because I didn’t start my morning thankfuls. Thank you for what you do on this, CWO and LWG!
Can’t wait to see your digital scrapbook pages!
Also–big fan of Rachel Ray!
Iris, I’m such a dork. I just realized I typed “In His name” instead of “In His hands” on the Mr. Linky. Is it possible for me to change it or can you do that? Sorry. I was in a hurry to add my link and didn’t think.
It’s so nice that you can come up with such a long list of things to be thankful for in spite of having a lousy work week. Inspirational!
This will be my first Thankful Thursday. Thanks for sharing!
WOW, It’s amazing how many woman come to give thanks here Iris! 🙂
Wednesday night is date night for my hubby and I, Thursday morning is women’s study and Thursday night is our life group (home bible study). Sooooo, I’m thankful for my husband, fellow believers, and most of all, God’s Word!! I feel so enriched after Wednesday’s and Thursdays…and Sundays too!
Better late than never!
Once again your timing is perfect…I really enjoy reading all of these:-)
Hello dear lady,
I’ve been MIA too, but thought of you today and stopped by to say hello. Have an awesome week and enjoy that new hobby ~ I’ve started a new one too, knitting. ;D
Luv ya.
I like your list, I am going to create one as well. Have been really busy and don’t always get around to participating, but I think it is a very good idea to remember to be thankful. Any idea how I can get heart bullet points in my blogger blog??
