Thankful Thursday

Today's 'Thankful Thursday's' theme is JOY!

I am thankful for Jesus and His sacrifice that He made for me so that I can have everlasting JOY!

I am thankful for the JOY on my husband's face when he comes home from work.

I am thankful for my sister and brother and law and nephews who are coming to visit this weekend...they will bring me much JOY!!

I am thankful that my son, though not feeling too well, is smiling and JOYOUS.

I am thankful that my cooking this week has made my men JOYFULL :)

For more Thankful Thursday, visit Iris!

Psalm 43: 4 "Then I will go to the altar of God, To God my exceeding joy; And on the harp I will praise You, O God, my God.

"I am thankful for the JOY on my husband's face when he comes home from work."

WOW!!!!!
There's one I have to really smile at and kick myself for not acknowledging myself. For all the fun made of men not understanding a woman's role in the home and coming home at the end of the day expecting . .. . (well, you know how it goes)

Appreciating the JOY on the DearHusband's Face is a gratitude moment indeed!

THANKS YOU!

Happy Thankful Thursday Friend!

Marsha said...

Hi sweetie! What a thankful, joyFULL heart you have! You must be fixin' 'manly man' food - meat and potatoes.

Love ya!

Hi Debra,
I liked your rhyme you wrote and was touched that you would give away your prize if you won... HOW SWEET!
I hope your son feels better and that you have a great time visiting with your family!

God bless your thankful heart!
