Thankful Thursday

I'm thankful God is the author, giver, and sustainer of life

especially grateful for this as my third grandson was born yesterday

There were a few complications, including a visit to the emergency room, but mom and baby are both doing well

I'm thankful for technology which allowed me to see and talk to them this evening

I'm thankful God is trustworthy

thankful He is faithful

thankful God is my burden bearer

I'm thankful for His invitation to cast all my cares on Him 

thankful for the knowledge that God does care for me

I'm thankful for rain

we sure got a lot of it today

thankful God waters the earth, making things grow

thankful for the beauty of creation

I'm thankful God is my strength and my song

thankful He is my defender

I'm thankful for God's word

thankful it is true

thankful it is living and active

thankful it always accomplishes what God sends it out to do

I'm thankful for the verses I've committed to memory

I'm thankful for family

it's been a full week with both of my brothers in law visiting from out of town

but thankful for the conversations, the games, the laughter

I'm thankful for healthy relationships with my in-laws

I'm thankful for God's grace 

thankful He has shown me mercy

and thankful I will get to experience it again tomorrow

His mercies are new every morning!
