Thankful Thursday

I’m thankful for the fresh flowers beside me.

I’m thankful for hot water and, while I’m at it, clean water and running water. I’m thankful for the good gift of plumbing.

I’m thankful for God’s provision and protection through another year, a year that has at times been a difficult one, but also joyous.

And bear with me while I repeat myself: I’m thankful for good health. Not everyone reaches my age without major health problems. So yes, I’m thankful for another year of good health.

Come to think of it, not everyone reaches my age. I’m thankful for another year of life.

I’m thankful for promised cake yet to come. 

On Thursdays throughout this year, I plan to post a few thoughts of thanksgiving along with Kim at the Upward Call and others.

I have daffodils today---love them!
Having lived without running hot water for a couple of years, I'm still thankful for a hot shower.

Would I be right in reading between the lines and that saying HAPPY BIRTHDAY is in order?

[Dorothy]

I agree with Meredith. I think a "Happy Birthday, Rebecca" is the appropriate comment for this post. Enjoy that cake!

[Jane]

Sounded like a birthday post to me too. Happy Birthday!

[rebecca]

Yes, today's my birthday. Thank you all for the greetings. I won't have the cake until Sunday, so we can all celebrate together.

Happy Birthday, Rebecca! Hope that cake is good!
