Thankful Thursday

Happy Thursday, my friends. I'm so blessed to be linking up with Laurie @ Women Taking a Stand and giving thanks to our King for His many blessings in our lives today. Thank you, Laurie, for being our hostess.



My husband and I leave for NY today. We were blessed to be asked by his sister, Ninamarie, to come and take part in her youngest son's communion. I am thankful for Jason's sister, Ninamarie...she is one of his family member's who has always accepted me and treated me with kindness. I look forward to the time with her and her family.

I am thankful for my sister in law Holly, who is going to be watching my son, Joshua. They will get some bonding time together and I know Joshua will be in good hands.

I am thankful that my husband was able to take the time off and we will have some alone time together. We laugh a lot when we travel together. I'm looking forward to this time with him.

I am thankful for the blogging community who never fails to rally to their sister's sides with prayers when needed. It is always such a blessing. My blood results came back at the doctor's office and for the most part, all was ok. I have a little bit of a thyroid issue but that will get worked out. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your prayers.

So my friends ... I will be gone until next Wednesday. I am not going to be taking my computer as I want the time dedicated to my husband and my family. Trust me, my hands are shaking as I type this (just kidding). I covet your prayers for traveling mercies. And I can't wait to catch up with all of you when I get back.

May the Lord bless you and keep you. May He shine His divine countenance upon you. Big big hugs from Florida.




Love ya bunches!! See ya soon!

I'm so glad your lab results were good. You're right; the thyroid can be dealt with. Have a wonderful and safe trip to NY. Forget about computers for a while. Sometimes, it's good although your blogging friends will miss you, including me. You are always a bright spot in my day.

Laurie Ann said...

Have fun in NY! Sounds like a wonderful experience is coming up. Isn't it wonderful to be accepted by our spouse's family? Steve's siblings love me - his parents...eh, not so much. But that's okay - I have enough love for it all. Hope Josh enjoys his time with your SIL and that ya'll enjoy NY. Be safe! Wear your seatbelt and say no to drugs. Happy Thankful Thursday!
