1~ I am thankful for my husband (who just happens to have a birthday today). He really has been so supportive and I don't always recognize it.
2~I am thankful for my children. It is a joy seeing them mature and turn into young adults with their own interest and gifts.
3~I am thankful for my church and the leaders who teach the gospel and how to apply it to our everyday lives.
4~I am thankful for my parents and that God has delivered my dad from prostate cancer. My parents only live about 10 minutes from me and I am so blessed to have such a close relationship with them.
5~I am thankful for friends that are not afraid to tell me the truth and they love me through thick and thin.
6~I am thankful that I have been able to cut back on my cleaning business and God is providing. This means I am able to care for my home and family more instead of pouring so much energy into taking care of other people's homes.
7~I am thankful for wonderful blogs that I have run across that remind me to look for the positive. I love making friends in the blog world! Take a look at the blogs on my blogroll page:)
8~I am thankful for my home, even though I tend to complain about it a lot:)
9~I am thankful for the opportunity to teach something that I love~yoga! I can't imagine how much worse I would be physically without yoga! Yes, I am a Christian and yes I do yoga. God has not convicted me to not do yoga and I will keep doing it until He does. Lots of Christians fear yoga, but that is another post for another time:) I can assure you that it has NOT hurt my relationship with God in any way!
10~Last but not least, I am thankful for salvation through Jesus Christ! I want my relationship with Him to grow stronger each day. Anything good that I have in this life is ALL because of His grace!!
I hope that my list of things to be thankful for grows each day as I learn to see the kindness of God in all areas of my life! What are you thankful for today?

I'm thankful for a lot of things too - I can't list them all here, it would be waaay too much for one comment... But here are a few of the things I am thankful for today:
ReplyDelete- My husband who I love more everyday. I am so thankful for the rich relationship we share.
- My children who are working hard on their schoolwork and working hard at trying to be good children.
- The Lord's provision both financially and materially.
- My blogging friends who are such an encouragement both spiritually and in practical terms.
- My health. While I might have never dreamed I would have CFS, the Lord has been very gracious and is always there helping me through every moment of every day.
- The Bible - I love the way God has given us a book that can help us through everything if we will but search through it... It is such an amazing book.
What a GREAT post! So positive and upbeat, I love it! You have some wonderful things in your life, that is a really good list!
ReplyDeleteThanks for having me on your blogroll. :) I've added you to mine too. I've really been enjoying getting to know you and reading up on your blog. You've been such a blessing to me, I'm sorry I haven't been more vocal about it. I really appreciate you. Blessings and keep up the positives! Oh, and I think it's great that you teach yoga, no shame in that at all!
