It has been too long since I participated in this meme. I am so glad to be able tonight to get a post in.
Tonight there are so many things for me to be thankful for.
- I am thankful that the Lord has not given up on me.
- I thank God for forgiveness.
- I thank God for second chances..third chances and so on.
- I thank God for time with my little ones, every single day.
- I thank God that a break from school is just around the corner.
- I thank God that He designed me as a mother with the desire to be with and not away from my children.
- I thank God for the blessed mothers day I had this year.
- I thank God for allowing me to see how very blessed I am. That He has kept us through many a trial and tribulation and has never failed us and never will.
- I thank God for my son making it to the end of the school year in PS (although he only went for 2 mo) without too many problems, and none that with God's help I could not handle. Today was his last day...Yay I can sleep in now.LOL
- I thank God for peace in that situation. It did not come overnight but it did come as He promises.
- I thank God for work for my husband. That each time I start to worry or fret a job comes in. Why do I worry? He is an on time God each and every time!
- I thank God that I am content in staying home as those gas prices are tending to keep me here:) So thankful I am a homebody.
- I thank God for my new friend and her sons. It has been a blessing for me and my children. My DD has a friend at homeschool with her daily, my 11 yr old has not been so blessed. So I am thankful for the new friend the Lord has sent him.
- I am thankful that the Lord laid it upon a friends heart to bless my children ( and us for sure) with the rest of the $$ for church camp this year. My DD got out and raised half of the fee for each of them and God (through my dear friend and her husband) supplied the rest. Total surprise to me when she informed me that they would be doing this. It's only three days and will be their first time going.
- I thank God that my youngest son has been to the dentist for surgery twice in the last month and all has gone well. Thank you Lord for keeping him safe.
- I thank God for his creation all around me and that He is teaching me to take time to smell the flowers, to walk barefoot in the sand, to get outside more, to appreciate the songs of all the birds in my yard every morning, the sound of the ocean when we make our weekly visit to the beach, the laughing gulls begging for scraps, the sound of rain as it hits our metal roof, the purr of our cats as we pet them, the snore of my youngest as he sleeps beside me in the morning, the sound of him saying "mama" when he wakes me up in the morning.
- I thank God for the sound of my daughter singing "Standing in the need of prayer", or "Praise you in the storm". She loves to sing.
- I thank God for the help of my 11 yr old with my youngest and that he has such a heart for the Lord. His prayer time that he takes with the Lord without being asked or told to.
- I thank God that my 15 yr old still kisses me goodnight each and every night and they all want to pray before going to bed!
- I thank God for a husband that loves the Lord and keeps Him #1 in his life ...No matter what! I know where he leads us is where the Lord is leading him.
. Have a great evening and remember...Be blessed.Stacy
PS. Please remember to keep the family of Steven Curtis Chapman in your prayers.
