Thankful Thursday

 

Happy bonus blog post day! I have to share a Thankful Thursday post each week, because it's my favorite post that I write. I love looking for the little things each day that bring joy to my heart and a smile to my face. It's impossible to be in a bad mood when you're practicing gratitude regularly! Do you do this? I'll jump in with my list.

This week I'm thankful for: 

• the Word of God (I loved reading the book of Job this year and got something so great out of it almost everyda)
• the characteristics of God that stood out to me in my Bible reading this week: His patience, kindness, goodness, sovereignty, His friendship
• my mom; she is my biggest supporter and cheerleader
• a phone conversation with my MIL that I had Friday night; we talked for almost two hours and it's the first time in months that we've spoken
• the peace of God
• the fact that my sons send me pictures/videos of what they're doing (I'm talking about Graham and Noah here)
• talking to Drew this week and looking forward to seeing him on Sunday
• Jonah and our long talks that we have almost everyday
• a great week at work
• church on Sunday after a weekend of being snowed in at home
• my Pastor and his godly wisdom/advice (his sermons have been so good the last few weeks)
• worship music
• podcasts that I've loved this week (Revive Our Hearts and That Sounds Fun)
• laughter
• lots of plans and things to be excited about
• great books and a show that I love on Netflix
• my sisters (I've talked to them all in the last five days and I love them all immensely)
• that today is the birthday of my great nieces, Kinsley and Kylie (I'm not sure how they're already eight???)

What are you thankful for this week? I'd love to hear from you! Thanks for reading my blog today, friends. I shared another post earlier that's below this one if you want to read it: here's a link. Love to all!
