Thankful Thusday - November 19, 2009

Today is Thankful Thursday hosted by Sonya at Truth 4 the Journey. If you would like to join in, click on the link above and go to Sonya's blog for directions.

Before I start there's a scripture I found this morning that I would like to share with you. It really touched my heart. Psalm 28:17 says "The Lord is my strength and my shield, my heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, And with song I will praise Him.."

Last week my TT's were thanks to my Heavenly Father for the help I had in cleaning our apartment. Today is a continuation.



1. I'm thankful to my Father for helping me clean my refrigerator by myself. It took me 2 days but I did it. Because of health issues I have not been able to do things on my own for a very long time. I use to complain about having to do housework, but not anymore. No I haven't lost my mind. It just feels good to be able to do some things that I've had to depend on someone else to do.

2. I'm thankful that God gave health care workers ideas for the medicines I had to take after doing all I did.

3. I'm thankful to my wonderful husband for helping to clean the stove (he cooks on). We've lived here 20 years so you can imagine what was underneath the stove when he pulled it out. He also cleaned some other areas in the house while I was asleep. Sometimes he wakes up about 3 or 4 in the morning and is wide awake so he gets up.

4. Thanks to the office manager who let us use what they use when someone moves out. It was amazing how easy it was for my husband to get that floor completely clean.

5. I'm also thankful to God for an email I got from my cousin in Colorado. I told you all about his nephew taking his own life. His uncle told me they had talked with the man who found his nephew and it appears he may not have committed suicide as the police were so quickly to report. Please continue to pray for this family. My uncle and aunt, the father of the deceased and his other brothers and their families are having a really hard time. May God speak to those who don't know Him and may good things come from what has happened and may He give them peace.

Ephesians 5:20: "giving thanks always for all things to
God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ."
