The way to Heaven is ascending;
we must be content to travel uphill,
though it be hard and tiresome,
and contrary to the natural bias of our flesh.
Jonathan Edwards

Aug. 13, 2008~ Thankful Thursday ~
Here are the things I feel are worthy of praise this week.
A great start to our school year.
Regaining strength after illness.
Everything I needed this week, I was provided.
New mercies when I grumbled about what I didn't have that I wanted.
My husband's support and love while I was sick.
Coupons for food, ice cream, new van breaks, and oil changes.
Adding new families to our flock group.
Cooler temperatures. We've not had our air on for more than a week!
Those are all such great praise reports.
Sorry you had the 'attitude' issue too. It's always a bit hard when it rears it ugly head on the first day of school (like for us). But tomorrow is another day and His mercies are new every morning. :)

Leviticus 20:26 says, "You must be holy because I, the LORD, am holy. I have set you apart from all other people to be my very own." This blog is my place to remember this journey I am on and God's goodness to me. I am glad you are here. Welcome.
