Thankful Thursday

 

Happy Thursday, friends! Rebecca Jo and I are back for another installment of Thankful Thursday. We'd love for you to join us!

I am thankful for the dads I have in my life. I'm fortunate enough to have three! My dad, my dad-in-love and my stepdad. I get to see them all pretty regularly, which is another thing I'm thankful for. As you know, Dad comes over every Friday and I've been seeing Wiley my dad-in-love weekly, then I see Bill at church or at their house when I go out there. 

They've all influenced me in the best ways throughout my life and have taught me so much. They each bring differing things into my life and though they're all different and wonderful in their own ways, one thing they have in common is that they love God and their families. 

I'm thankful that Todd was able to spend last weekend doing what he loves most—working with the sheriff's department. It's his favorite thing and though technically it is "work", it is also his hobby and passion, which makes it fun. He and Graham did this together both Saturday and Sunday nights. 

I am so thankful for answered prayers. I shared about a prayer request that the Lord answered for me with Drew, but He answered another one regarding Noah. He ended up quitting his job yesterday and to say I'm relieved is the understatement of the century. There are so many reasons why, but I was mainly praying over spiritual protection for him. It's a long and drawn out story, but I am so grateful that God answered so quickly. I know He doesn't always answer quickly, but Noah had an opportunity to talk to his boss and he took it. 

I'm thankful for praying friends! My best friend is my prayer warrior and I go to her with a lot. She comes to me too, but the gift of a praying friend like her is priceless. 

I'm thankful for places to cool off, like pools, living rooms and upstairs bedrooms at night with the fan blowing. 

I'm thankful for the opportunity I have to keep a home. I don't know that I've ever said that here before, but I mean every word of that statement. I love doing mundane things around the house and gain immense satisfaction from things like folding laundry, straightening up when everyone leaves, doing other little things that make our house a home and a haven for our family. I am so grateful for this life the Lord has given to me.

Lastly, I'm grateful for things like quality time, music that leads me to worship, a really good new tv show to watch, great books to read, a husband that never minds when I go out of town and quiet nights at home. 

It's your turn! What's something you're thankful for this week? I'd love to hear from you! Thanks for reading my blog, friends. Love to all!
