What Are You Thankful For?


This is my second week joining in on Thankful Thursday.  I think it is a good reminder of what we are thankful for.  We take so much for granted.  I have a few more general things to list, then I will try to get with the program and post about what I am thankful for during the week.  So here goes...

I am thankful for my extended family.  When Stan and I married my family grew quite a bit.  He has two lovely daughters who are married. 5 grand kids and 4 great grands.  I am thankful we have passed the awkwardness and are a family now.  I wish we could see them more than what we do, but they live in Utah and Iowa.  Here are two of the great grands.


Aren't they precious?  

I am also thankful that my sweet husband and my daughter's dad and step mom all get along. We are all friends and actually enjoy holidays together.  It makes it so much easier for Janice and the kids.  We get some strange looks sometimes but life is good.  Everything happens for a reason!

Also thankful for our church and church family.  Heritage Chapel FWB is not big in number but we are mighty.  We love our Lord God and believe in His Word.  We have a young (preaching years) preacher that is on fire for the Lord.  He gets so excited and his wife has a heart of gold.  We have some awesome Bible Studies on Wednesday night and good preaching Sunday mornings and nights.  If you are ever in the Springfield MO area look us up, we would love to have you!

Life is good!  Thank you Jesus!

'In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.'  I Thessalonians 5:18

    Cute grandkids! Lovely chapel!
    Good relationships within the family is indeed something to be very grateful about, especially nowadays with many people opening new chapters in their life.
