Thankful Thursday

 

I’m thankful for a rainy day so that I have a good reason to let the yard and garden be for a day (and maybe more). I’m thankful God gave me the energy and strength to mow the backyard last night so that I don’t have to worry about it becoming an unmowable jungle if it rains for a few days. 

I’m thankful for a good report from the dental hygienist. 

I’m thankful for more fresh raspberries and more jam on the counter. I’m thankful for lots of little ripe tomatoes on my tumbler tomato plant. I’m thankful that the world God made gives us food to eat and enjoy.

I’m thankful for wise moves my financial planner made last year and earlier this year. I see this as God’s provision for me and I’m thankful to him for it. I’m thankful for that God gives us what we need before we recognize our need for it.

Throughout this year I’m planning to post a few thoughts of thanksgiving each Thursday along with Kim at the Upward Call and others.

Fresh raspberries! Mmmm! I never can decide if raspberries or blueberries are my favorite.

Lovely list! I heard about the rain and cool weather your way and thought about you. We have blueberries. They are fabulous this year.
