Posted in Thankful Thursday

When I read the scripture used for this Thankful Thursday post over at Lynn's blog, Spiritually Unequal Marriage , I knew this was going to be a good year.  If you have not already, head on over there to read her post. It will touch your heart.  While you are there you will see the list of many other thankful hearts being shared. Take a few moments and be encouraged as you read about God's goodness and what He has done and is doing in their lives.

• I am thankful that I have a heavenly Father that has my future planned out for me. That His plans for me are good and not evil. That His plans for me are that I prosper, not only financially but spiritually also. His plans are for me to have hope and a future~all in Him~!! Oh I am so thankful to have such a wonderful Father who cares for me the way He does.
• I am thankful for a New Beginning in  Him. That this year will be better than last. Thankful for making it through the old and into the new. Thankful that I am not stuck in my past but pressing forward in my present into my future in Christ Jesus.
• I am thankful for New beginnings in my marriage. That each year that passes is another chance for us to see how God meant for us to be together.  Another way for us to share with others "Look what the Lord has done".
• I am thankful for all the financial blessings of 2007 and that I know that God has even better for us in 2008 because His plans are for us to prosper.
• I am thankful for my wonderful children and for the love of God I see working in and through them towards others.
• I thank God for the mistakes I made last year and that I am able, because of Him, to take them and learn from them that there is always a better way to do things~ His way.
• I am thankful for New Beginnings as a mom. I know that I am not perfect and I make mistakes as a mother. I thank God for each new year I am able to look back, see what did not work, what did and go into the new year with HOPE that I will do better. I thank God for giving me another year with my children.

This thankful list could go on and on. Funny how last night I sat here and my mind was blank. I was tired from only 3 hrs sleep the night before and couldn't for the love of me gather my thoughts together and get this post out. My mind was a bit scattered to say the least. However, today I woke up with yesterday behind me and a New Day before me. A New Beginning and another chance to thank Him.

Be blessed and have a great weekend in Christ Jesus.
