This week I am thankful for my upcoming anniversary. My beloved and I are going on a date! We will be going to dinner together to celebrate. I am thankful for our years together and for where God has us. He has been faithful to walk with us through hard times (yes, there have been very hard times) and shown us paths of forgiveness and mercy and grace. I know I am a better person for holding hands with this husband of mine for all of these years. Thank you, Jesus, for my marriage and my husband. Song of Solomon 2:4 "He brought me to the banqueting house, And his banner over me was love"I am thankful for the quiet time I have had this past week with the Lord. I am grateful for His Word and the truths found in it. I have struggled with some old hurts and pressed in close to the Lord to hear His small still voice and I have been soothed by Him. He is such a faithful God who always meets us where we are at. 1 Kings 19:11-12 " Then He said, "Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord." And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire and after the fire a still small voice"
I am thankful for my son's time at football practice this week. He has started a new schedule to allow him to go to third block football practices. The time frame means his schooling must be finished before 10:30 AM! He saw it as a challenge and set his alarm for 6:30 am and he has been finished and actually getting ahead in school and off to football where he is sore (ha!) but loving the camaraderie! The coaches and his teammates are glad to see him and visa versa. Proverbs 13:4 "The soul of a lazy man desires and has nothing; But the soul of the diligent shall be made rich"
Today is a great day to be thankful! May the Lord bless you today!

Happy Anniversary, Debra!
Praying you and your beloved have a wonderful anniversary. What a lovely post about God soothing old hurts. I hate it when the scabs get ripped off or scars tear open. I'm grateful for that still, small Voice, too. Happy Thankful Thursday!
Dear Sweet Sister -
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
Our God is amazing and His love for us conquers all - especially when we are obedient and allow His restoring love, mercy and grace to fill us! Your marriage is such a beautiful testimony and witness of that!

Happy Anniversary and have fun on your date!
I hope the old hurts are feeling better now. I have had to pull closer to the Lord here recently due to old hurts too.
Happy Anniversary!
Isn't it wonderful that God will meet us wherever we are? He comforts us, lead us and guides us in His ways when we listen to His still small voice.
Way to go son! That's dedication and love for football. Keep up the good work.

Happy Anniversary on Sunday to you and your hubby. See, I remembered the exact date. You are doing a great job with that son of yours. And isn't it wonderful when we take the time to listen to the Lord. Time spent in quietness with Him is so special. How often have we missed that still, small voice because of too many distractions?
