Thankfulness Thursday- but it's Friday again. Week 25 of 2014

Today is June 20th.

On Wednesday I met my best friend from high school for our bi-annual celebration. Her birthday is in December and mine is in June. We meet twice a year for a marathon talk and dinner. We have been close friends since juniors in high school. It is amazing to me that she has stuck by me because I know there have been times when I haven't been the best friend to her that I could have been. We live in the same valley but 30 miles away from each other. We have been to each others weddings, baby showers and relatives funerals. We want to see each other more but life is crazy for both of us. We are of different faiths but are respectful of the others faith. Her youngest child is 5 months older than my oldest.

One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin,
    but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

Proverbs 18:24

Thank you Lord for my good friend Janelle.

Thankfulness Thursday - but it's Friday - Week 24 of 2014

Today is Friday June 13th.

Today I am thankful that my hubby has had the last week off. It was not planned it is a leave without pay. It has been nice to have him home every night. The bonus came this morning when I went to pay bills and found out that he received retroactive pay and a cost of living increase. Praise God for supplying all our needs.

And my God will meet all your needs according to the

 riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:19

Thankfulness Thursday Week 23 of 2014

Today is June 5th.

It is my hubby's birthday so you can guess what I am thankful for today. Yep my hubby. It amazes me that God made this person and that he would be my husband. Do not misunderstand a marriage is hard work and we have had trials throughout our 25 years. There is not another that I would have wanted to endure these trials with and the good times too.

Thank you dear Lord for my husband. He is a blessing to me everyday.

Thankfulness Thursday - Week 22 of 2014

Today is May 29th.

Today I am thankful that after 25 years of marriage we have not bought a couch. This past week a blogger that I follow Kat at Grass Stains blogged about her new couch (sectional). I am thankful that I have not had to search for a couch. Since my hubby is the youngest of 8 - 4 on his mother's and 4 on his step-father's we have just received the old couches that the others have replaced with new. Woo hoo for Sure-fit slipcovers.

Update on my mom - everything is good repeat colonoscopy in a year and thyroid looks good.

Update on the youngest - he will be wearing a sling for 6 weeks and went back to school today.

Today is May 22nd.

Today I am thankful that my youngest is okay after fracturing his right clavicle yesterday afternoon. He received his first ride in an ambulance/paramedic vehicle to the pediatric hospital with no sirens.

I am also thankful that our 17 year old car that was backed into is repairable.

God is so good to us.


Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever. 1 Chronicles 16:34

Thankfulness Thursday - Week 20 of 2014

Today is May 15th.

Yesterday was my youngest child's birthday, He turned 11. We teased him the night before that we could/would wake him at the time of his birth just like in City Slickers. Our youngest was born at 3:25 am. Needless to day we did not wake him up - because we were all sleeping this year.

The night of his birth was the night I did not sleep. We had put the oldest to bed a couple of hours earlier and we decided about 10pm to go to sleep. I had just laid down and my water broke. I jumped up and the hubby said "Did your water break?" I told him I needed to check to be sure. So we called his parents and then dropped the oldest with them. We did not call anyone else we just planned on waiting until the morning to let everyone else know.

We arrived at the hospital and my nurse was a little disappointed because she figured she would be off her shift by the time the baby delivered. Well I assured her that she would get to see my baby before she left. I reminded her of that as she wheeled me to my room after he was born.

I have been blessed with two easy deliveries with my boys and my body for some reason does not feel contractions until it is time to push. I had to wait for the doctor to arrive with both boys.

Today I am thankful for my youngest son and for the wonderful process of childbirth that I had.
