Thankful Thursday -- Breath

It's been a long while since I have posted a Thankful Thursday list ... I entered Iris's giveaway last week ... and it is refreshing to remember our blessings.

First and foremost I am thankful for my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ -- His ultimate sacrifices on our behalf. I'm thankful He is the judge of mankind and not fellow humans.

We had a Bible Study last night about teaching Bible Studies and helping to win lost souls to the Lord ... its so true that new babes in Christ need to be discipled -- I am thankful that the Lord sent a good family to help us in that regard -- I don't think we would have continued on with the care and nurturing they bestowed upon us. I do think that there are people who are not so new in the Lord that need nurturing and acceptance too -- people can do so much damage in their own personal quest to remain "righteous" -- its really a scary thought to be responsible for the damage to a soul.

... I'm thankful for my husband ... for working hard to support our family -- I'm sure he doesn't want to work all those hours -- but sometimes you just need to! I'm thankful he is willing to do whatever it takes in that regard. I believe the Lord blesses that! He's also great about making the bed each weekday morning, washing dishes and vacuuming!

... I'm thankful for my children -- the Lord blessed us with these -- we can do many things over (actually in regards to everything) but God has a special mission in life for each of them, and I am anxious to see what the Lord is going to do!

... I'm thankful that Spring is on the horizon, we had a teeny tiny taste of it and then it hid again! I've been able to walk a few days -- I seriously miss that! Although no baby goats yet ...

And as always, I am thankful for this community of bloggers who are an encouragement to me. Please be sure to visit Sting my Heart for more Thankful Thursday praises!
