Thankful Thursday ~ July 22, 2010

I am thankful for life.

I am thankful for seeing another day.

I am thankful that my husband, my children (3), and me are in good health.

I am thankful for God giving me the desire to want to do His Will and increase in the knowledge of Him.

I am thankful for God giving a vision on how to enlarge my territory so that it give Him glory and edify the Kingdom of God.

I am thankful for knowing that the best is yet to come.

I am also thankful that it's a new season, it's a new day, and fresh anointing is coming my way.


Hallelujah and Amen!!! I have come to far to give up and turn back now in the name of Jesus!!!


Be bless in the mighty name of Jesus. Show God your appreciation by giving Him thanks for all He is doing and all He is about to do. Please join our Thankful Thursday Host - Lynn from Spiritually Unequal Marriage.

Things I Love.....

I was reading Loop De Loops and she did a meme about "Things You Love", which was started by Jen. It's not your ordinary love list like the usually, God, family, etc. It's the off the wall kind of love. You may even call them your guilty pleasures that you love so much and believe it to be the end of the world as you know it, if you have to live without them. So here's my list:

I love.......

1) it when it rains, while I am at home without having some place to go.

2) to watch my little girl sleep.

3) it when my two year old students' moms tell me how their child has learned so much since being in my class.

4) putting on my pj's and wrapping up in my favorite comforter.

5) making people laugh.

6) eating ice cream, preferably anything mixed with caramel, vanilla, & chocolate.

7) girl's scout cookies (Tagalongs, Do si Dos, & Samoas)

8) drinking hot chocolate on very, very cold evening.

9) to watch movies (comedy, romance, & action).

10) my remote control for my TV, Cable box, DVD

11) the wonders of DVR

12) not wandering or caring about what other people think about me.

There are so many other things I love, but I think I stop right here. If you did this meme, let me know so I can check it out.

Your Sister in Christ,
