Thankful Thursday
It’s Thursday again? It’s amazing how each week my Thankful list evolves from the week before…Here goes!
1. I am thankful for VBS next week. I pray children’s lives are changed by the Scripture they will hear during this week. I pray that in a sea of Alabama/Auburn decorations, my Georgia Bulldogs will stand proud.
2. I am thankful my dear Mamaw is head over heels in love with Darla, her new caregiver. I still have to tell ya’ll that story..I’ll do that soon. Mamaw actually called Darla ‘wonderful’. She has never used that word about another human being in her life. There is some miraculous stuff going on around here…
2. I am so thankful the kids our out of school and my brilliant new rule for preventing them from turning into lazy slugs. When they wake up, they can eat breakfast before they dress and do chores. However, there is no other eating until they are showered, dressed, and chores are done. They didn’t eat lunch yesterday until 3:30 p.m. If you see them and they are looking a bit peaked, just know they didn’t get their beds made. I’m thinking I could use this rule on myself.
4. I am thankful my hubby cleaned out the garage. It is getting a little cluttered again which makes him a tad bit unhappy. My response? ‘Welcome to my world.’ And no matter how messy it gets, its a good world to be in..:)
5. I am thankful for my friends M and K who gave us GLORY REVEALED!
6. I am thankful for the kid’s ballgames all being at one field tonight. I am also thankful they are not charging gate admission for children…We spend a small fortune at tournaments!
7. I AM THANKFUL FOR VACATION!!!
8. I am thankful for Jesus Christ who keeps me sane in my chaos, is my strength when I am weak, is the voice of reason when I am unreasonable, is enough for all I lack. Praise and Glory and Honor are reserved for Him alone!!
I hope you have a blessed week! Go visit Iris at Sting My Heart for more Thankfuls…:)
Amen to all that!! I am so thrilled you got the Glory Revealed CD – I have it on my iPod and love it! Love your rule about the eating for the kids…I think I will use it too – for myself.
It is wonderful that your Mamaw loves her caregive! Thank God for those that have that gift! Have fun at VBS!!
Hmmm I am liking your rule, I don’t know if my kids would eat. But it sure would save on food =)) One son got a talking to because he was not doing chores, that would only take him about 5 mins out of playing day.
Great list.
Amen to a wonderful thankful list.
I enjoyed your list. Thanks for sharing! Enjoy that week of VBS.
I hope you have a great VBS week! And I love your summer rules!
I like the shower and chores rule. I should impose that on myself. I’d be skinny!
Love the Glory Revealed cd! It is awesome! Hope you have a great weekend! Were off to the river again!! See you Sunday!!
Love

Clean garage = happy hubby! Glory Revealed looks good. I’ll have to check it out. Shower and chores before eating. You could make millions writing that in a diet book!! HA! Thanks for sharing sweetie. Blessings on your weekend.
As always, a good list!
I’m with you on the Georgia Bulldog thing in a sea of Auburn and Alabama fans.
When we first moved here 7 years ago, people would stick out there hand for a shake and say “Alabama or Auburn?” and I would say “NEITHER! Georgia Bulldogs! Sic ’em!”
Yeah, didn’t go over too well.
Have a great weekend!
I loved your list! Esp. #8. Thanks for sharing. And, bless you!
A wonderful list indeed! I’m glad that Mawmaw loves her caregiver. That is a blessing. Thanks for sharing and have a blessed week!
What a wonderful blessing to have a caregiver for your mom, who she enjoys. That is so important!! Kudos to your husband too for cleaning out the garage ~ it’s always a great thing when they are able to understand the snowstorm of cleaning cycle that we go through everyday ;) Blessings to you today!
good rule keep it up
blesss your hubby

Praying for you as you start VBS that lives ARE changed!! I just noticed your Minister Wife Blogs on your sidebar…that’s a great idea.
I love the new “Summer Rules”. I need to do that at my house, too.
Hugs to you!!

What can I say…I love Thankful thursday and it was desperately necessary for me today….a clean garage? What is that….I have no idea…..
Blessings
I loved reading all of your thankful things. And yay for Georgia Bulldogs, now I TRULY know that you’re a woman of God ;).
How neat that your Mamaw loves her new care-taker. It is hard to find good help. Glad that your Mamaw was able to find one :)
I am sorry that your husband clean-up job already gets messed-up. But like you said “welcome to my world…”
I am glad that your kiddos on summer break. Maybe life with slow down a bit for y’all.
Thanks for sharing a little about the CD.
To your last statement on your thankful list – “Amen, sista!”
BTW – I am very thankful for you, dear Lisa. When you have time tomorrow (Friday) stop on by–I’d like to share something with you…
Thank you so much for sharing your grateful heart with us this week.
Be blessed today and always.
I am so going to download the Glory Revealed cd right now. I hear nothing but good things about it!
I am also going to nab your chore suggestion as soon as Jackson heals. Food is a HUGE motivator for him!
Great list of thankfuls!
Blessings to you!
