Thankful Thursday


"...I know that the Lord is always on the side of the right. But it is my constant anxiety and prayer that I and this nation should be on the Lord's side."--Abraham Lincoln

It has been a long time since I've done a Thankful Thursday! I don't even remember the last time. I am emerging back into blogging kind of slowly, so I am not committing to doing them on a weekly basis but here goes for this week...

1. I am thankful for Abraham Lincoln. Today is his birthday and I think our country is a much better place because of his leadership and wise decisions. I wish all leaders would adhere to the quote above.

2. I am thankful for my pancake breakfast date on Monday with Elissa. Adoption brought us together but we share much more than that in common.

3. I am thankful for the hard work Don put in this past weekend installing a new fence on one side of our house. I truly don't acknowledge him enough for the hard work he does outside of the home and then at home.

4. I am thankful for the RAIN we got on Tuesday night. It wasn't much but it was wonderful and OH SO NEEDED.

5. I am thankful for Jaime. Her birthday was on Monday and we got to celebrate a bit earlier last Thursday. You may remember reading about her last year when she turned 30.

6. I am thankful my parents will be here in eleven days! Yikes, eleven days. I better get moving!

7. I am thankful for renewed hope.

What are you thankful for today?

I've always loved your Thankful Thursday posts!! So glad you are blogging again. I can relate to the blogging slump as I've been in one lately myself. I'm thankful that friendships can just pick up where they left off. :)

Hmmm, I am thankful you are back!!! ANd I am thankful for Lindy's little sis and I am thankful that the world of adoption brought us together and knit our lives into the same fabric. And I am thankful we share the same faith and friendship - you are a treasure.

Love coming here to visit with you.
Love,
HEather

Did you tell me your parents were coming in town? How exciting! I know you will have a blast...do you have special plans while they are here?
And...I am so thankful for your renewed hope too. We can't wait to meet her one day!
