Thankful Thursdays 2010

Another Thursday*, another day to count my blessings and give thanks!

My thankful list:

I'm thankful for some special 'Grandma and Elliott' time this week

I'm thankful for favorite children's books to share with my little reader

I'm thankful for appreciative giggles from Elliott when I act silly. 

I'm thankful that I can still remember (and recite) every single word and I can still sing every single word of every single song of the old 'Cat in the Hat' video

I'm thankful that that same video that drove me nuts all those years ago brought as much joy to Elliott as it did to his father and uncles all those years ago

I'm thankful that the medical tests I had on Tuesday weren't as bad as I expected and that I had dreaded them for nothing

I'm thankful that my dear friend, Dorothy's test results came back normal!

I'm thankful that the temperature is above freezing and the monster icicles are melting

I'm thankful for short chair naps and a peaceful afternoons

I'm thankful I took a few extra days to read through Book One Chapter Eleven of Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion instead of blustering through quickly to 'keep up.' 

I'm thankful for opportunties

I'm thankful that I can pray for wisdom and God hears me

I'm thankful for books

and time

and bedtime

I am thankful for time to reflect on this good day

I am thankful.

*God willing, I will be joining Kim at the Upward Call and many other bloggers in stopping for a moment each Thursday in 2010.  Why don't you join me in spending some time reflecting on the great blessings that God has given and then GIVING THANKS to the One from Whom all blessings flow.

Thankful that you have found so much to be thankful for- also that your test results were better than anticipated.

Hi Heidi!

I won't have the results of the tests until next Tuesday, but the tests themselves were nothing like what had been described to me. . .
