Thankful Thursday

 

 

It's Thursday, and the week has been full of things to be thankful for

 

My wife and I had the privilege of going out to Missouri to visit our daughter and son-in-law last week

 

Very grateful for the time we were able to spend with them

 

Thankful for the chance to get to know their community a bit more

 

My daughter had a couple projects I could help her with, which makes this father's heart glad

 

Thankful for God's provision of safety as we travelled almost 2,000 miles

 

We got to stop in Indianapolis on the way home and spend an evening with our uncle and cousins.  What a delightful time that was.  Thankful for their hospitality and the chance to visit with them

 

I'm thankful for the different ways God has been prodding my heart to pursue Him more diligently recently

 

Thankful for His word, and the way He reveals Himself in His word

 

Thankful for music and the ability to use it as an avenue of worship

 

Thankful God creates beauty all around us and has given us eyes to see and appreciate that beauty

 

Thankful for work, and for the wisdom God provides to accomplish the work He gives me to do

 

Thankful for my family; each one is a gift from my loving heavenly Father

 

Thankful for grace; amazed at God's patience with me and His mercies that are new every morning
