Then, as soon as that thought entered my mind and was recognized, I thought "What is wrong with you? You have blessings beyond measure, and you're struggling to write something?" Conviction comes swiftly sometimes!
I have SO MUCH to be thankful for! How can I not recognize it?
- I am thankful for a God who loves me, provides for me and loves me despite my ungrateful, sinful nature!
- I am thankful that I have a husband who loves me and has provided security (as secure as one can be in these times) for us and our home.
- I am thankful for my daughter who is a godly young woman, intent on leading children to a better future.
- I am thankful to live in the USA.
- I have a home "in the country" that I love.
- I am thankful for a job that helps to sustain us.
- I am thankful for each of my siblings who bring a special joy into my life.
- I am thankful for my church, pastor, and church family who all lift me up and help me live life to its fullest.
- I am thankful to Rhondi for providing an opportunity to share my thankfulness each week
- I am grateful for all these blessings and so many more!
Thankfully, Chris

ReplyDeleteHi Dhris
ReplyDeleteWe all have so much to be thankful for! I am sometimes guilty of thinking, "what am I thankful for today when it comes to Thursday"
No matter what is happening we always can be thankful for a God who loves us.
Hugs, Rhondi
Wonderful Thankful Thursday post Chris! So many blessings to be thankful for.
ReplyDeleteYou are right. It is only difficult to narrow it down to one thing.
