Thankful Thursday

The Lord has done so much in my life that my list would go on and on.

So for today I am thankful for:

My salvation

Faithfulness of God

The discipline of God in my life

Getting our of bed this morning

Love of family and friends

The blessings of God

God's Favor

Mercy & Grace

The ability to do the things I want to do

May you all find peace in where God has you at this time in your life.

I have learned there is a reason for everything we go through.

So as long as you have to go through it ,

you might as well learn something from the going though.

Today I picked up my 4 little chicks. They are 5 weeks old. Above is what they will look like full grown. I have never had chickens before. Hope this works out.
I need to build a chicken coop for them and hope to be able to post my work on it as I progress.These girls will be giving my about 2 dozen eggs a week. Guess I will be sharing them, because my DH and I will never eat that many.

I have not been around lately to post due to trying to give my home some new curb appeal.

Just about finished and hope to be able to post results soon.

The entire project took longer than what my DH and I expected.

Getting older sure does slow a person down.

We took it a little at a time and day by day we are getting it finished.

Our weather here in the Northeast has been very mild, which has been great

for doing all the work

I started a raised bed garden this year. So easy to do and fun.

My granddaughters were here to help me plant. I enjoy them so much.

OK, enough rambling for now. Come back soon and see the results of my work.

Let Go And Let God

As children bring their broken toys with tears for us to mend,

I brought my broken dreams to God, because He was ,my friend

But then, instead of leaving Him is peace, to work alone,

I hung around and tried to help, with ways that were my own.

At last I snatched them back and cried,

"How can you be so slow?"

"My child," He said, What could I do?

You never did let go." (Unknown)

Today I am thankful that even when I mess up,

God is always there for me.

I am so Thankful that He is all POWERFUL,

full of MERCY and GRACE.

Thankful for:

That God is a personal God

Being loved and able to love

Direction from the Holy Spirit

God's love

God's provisions

God's protection

God's Word, the Bible to teach me His ways

God's correction to lead me the right way

Forgiveness from others and ability to forgive

Fellowship of God's people online and in person

This has been a good week. Blessed, great weather and feeling wonderful.

I would first like the thank

God for all He has done for me.

FORGIVENESS

That He is ever so faithful , loving, kind ,merciful

understanding, loves me unconditional

and is with me always.

I am Thankful for my Bible Study that I attend. The ladies

are a real blessing to be with. We all are learning so much from each other.

I thank God for each and every one of them.

A great big Thank you to all you Sister in Christ who

encourage another.

I am Thankful even when the Lord allows me to go through difficult times,

because His Word says, Everything works together for good for those

that love God .

My first Sunday in Church was when I was about 3 weeks old.

I am Thankful I had a Mom that took me

to God's House at an early age.

So Thank you to ALL those Mom's who take your children

to Church.

I am Thankful for every Sunday School teacher

that took time to teach me about Jesus.

I still think of them often even tho they have gone to be with the Lord.

So Thank You to ALL you Sunday School Teachers out there.

When I was nineteen, I moved from Texas to New York.

At the time I was upset that I had to move.

God knew what He was doing even though I did not.

For now I see it was the best thing that could

have happened to me.

I am so Thankful Gods knows best.
