Thankful Thursday #3 ~ Thankful For Sweet Friendships
Posted in Thankful Thursdays
It has been such a special week for me, even though it has been quiet. We've been making preparations for the arrival of our longtime friends from Dallas, as well as Hubby's brother Ronnie. Wow, two visiting families in one week! When it rains it pours right? Well I am so glad it is raining friends right now. Speaking of friends . . . I would like to dedicate this week as a week of Thanks for sweet friendships, and here are a few to start out with:

Our dear friends Joseph and Stacey, (pictured above with their 5 children), knew we have been studying about the Colonies, so they sent us a sweet care package straight from Colonial Williamsburg filled with maps, brochures and guides. This will go well for our notebooking. I thought that was amazingly thoughtful to think of us while on their vacation. What a dear couple they are! Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY WEEK TO JOSEPH!
My longtime friend Tammy C. sent me the most beautiful, heartfelt email this week. She let me know I was a "keeper" of a friend and she loved me. It was really touching after the year I've had, and brought me to tears. Thank you Tammy, from one keeper to another!
To my new online friend Lisa over at The Preacher's Wife for her Bible study that is "knocking my socks off." Thank you for the time you have taken out of your schedule to write and post this Bible study, for so many to delve deeper into the word of God. For such a time as this!
So much to be thankful for, and so little space. There are many more friends to hug on, so I am off in person to let them know just how much they mean to me. May God bless your week with the beauty of true friendship.

What a neat post---wonderful thoughts of thankfulness. I was blessed to be here !
And on the "Bible reading" in a year---does "listening to the Bible on CD count?---That's what I am having to do for some of my time---God really blesses me with that!

Yes absolutely you can listen to the Bible on cd to do the "Read thru the Bible" program with us. In fact . . . that is a very cool idea indeed!
Thanks for sharing and for stopping by. You made my day! :-)
