THANKFUL THURSDAY

It's Thursday. . .time to join Sonya @ http://truth4thejourney.blogspot.com/

and another group that has been hosted by Lynn @ http://unequalmarriage.typepad.com

to share what we are thankful for.

Sonya asks that we make a list of 5 things.

Lynn is using the theme of Summer this time, but I used that theme at the beginning of the month.

I have been spending a lot of time thinking about what to share that I am thankful for, that I haven't already been sharing about. (my family, Jennifer's Rothschild's Bible study-Me, Myself and Lies, etc.) I am really ALWAYS thankful, but it doesn't always come out in my actions.

Today, I am thankful for these last 2 weeks of my Summer, to

1. spend with Kalyn, before she goes back to college.
2. spend with Jase, before he begins another year of school.
3. prepare for my new job, new school year.

I AM very thankful for
4. my family
and for
5. Jennifer Rothschild,

who, in the words of my daughter, remind me to "chill out" (speak more kindly to others)
and in the words of Jennifer Rothschild,
"If we combine our effort with power, God's power, we will sing a victory song, just like Deborah did!"
Jennifer shared the words of a wise penguin in the movie, Happy Feet,
"Triumph is just trying with a little 'umph'!"

Psalm 84:5NIV

Blessed are those whose strength is in You, who have set their hearts on pilgrimage.

Psalm 84:5 Personalized by me

I am blessed!
My strength is in the Lord!
I have set my heart on following the Lord!

I hope that you will join in sharing what you are thankful for today, and have a very Thankful Thursday!
