Thankful Thursday

Happy Thursday, my friends. I'm joining with Lynn today and giving thanks. The theme is random.


I'm so thankful for the beauty of coming together each Thursday to give thanks in one accord. Psalm 133:1 "Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity"

I am thankful for His grace and that it is ALL I will ever need. 2 Corinthians 12:9 "My grace is sufficient for thee"

I am thankful that my son made it home safely from his trip. Psalm 34:4 "I sought the Lord, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears"

I am thankful for the beautiful weather we have had. There has been warmth of the sun and a beautiful breeze. I am so mindful of the weather and how God commands it. I was reading in the book of Job and was struck by this passage and was again amazed at our God. Job 37:5-7 "God thunders marvelously with His voice; He does great things which we cannot comprehend. For He says to the snow, 'Fall on the earth'; Likewise to the gentle rain and the heavy rain of His strength. He seals the hand of every man. That all men may know His work"

And I am thankful this week for the song coming forth from the voices of my men in the home. I have heard them more than a few times lifting up those beautiful voices in praise and it has made me smile. I'm quite sure Jesus is smiling too :) Psalm 118:14 "The Lord is my strength and song"

May the Lord bless you this day. Sending you a great big hug!

Happy Thursday, Debra,
I know the feeling of kids getting home safely from a trip. Bet you were praying! I liked the Job passaged where God spoke to the weather elements. Thanks for sharing that inspiration.
