Thankful Thursday - 6/4

1. I'm thankful that school is almost done. I am exhausted and ready to sleep in, pack NO lunches and lay by the pool - on red alert as I watch my children swim. No relaxing at the pool, but at least I can tan while I watch my kids. (I wear SPF 50, so I don't actually tan...just turn off-white instead of stark white).

2. I'm thankful for my bloggy friend Lea! Lea (from the Potting Shed) sent me the most adorable book mark, custom made by her. I will try to post a picture next Wednesday. Be on the look out. Thanks, Lea!

3. I'm thankful for my bloggy friend Sharon (from Joy in the Truth). Sharon had some connections regarding the Writers' Conference I'm going to this Summer, and has set me up with another Christian lady there. I was hoping to meet Sharon personally, but I don't think its going to work out this trip. Nonetheless, she's looking out for me. Thanks, Sharon!

4. I'm thankful my in-laws are doing better physically, and am looking forward to visiting them later this summer. I'm sure I post about it when go.

5. Thankful I'm reading the Bible again! I finished Numbers, and started Deuteronomy. I'm also doing a study in Proverbs. So thankful for a God who is patient with me and forgives my flaws.

What are you thankful for this week?

#1..I'm glad I don't have to worry about you anymore (spf).

SENSODYNE!!! It's the Bomb!

No more extreme pain when washing down my Cheesecake with a COLD Heath-Milkshake. Because of Sensodyne Toothpaste, my drinking is 100% pleasure.

Oh, I am thankful for you too! I sure wish we could meet in person...you'll only be 10 minutes from my house when you are here for the writer's conference! Praying it is awesome for you! We'll be at www.camp-of-the-woods.org - Christian Family Camp in the Adirondaks!

And yippeee.....way to get back into the Chrono Bible! Proud of you girlfriend!

My NIV Chrono daily Bible has me in Proverbs right now....which is exactly where I need to be! God is so good!

Love ya!
(and ps -- I do think we must have taken the elevator together, passed each other in the hall....something....at She Speaks 2008! I feel like I know you!)

Kelly, what a great list. Sounds as if God is bringing some needed healing and is continuing to work in your life!

Happy Thankful Thursday! I miss you!

Irritable Mother said...

Off white instead of stark white? LOL!!! (BTW, Joshua made it through yesterday without his tanner washing off in the pool!)
I am thankful for God's patience and grace toward me, too!

I love your comment about tanning. Turning a little more off-white - too funny.

Shabby Olde Potting Shed said...

On red alert at the pool huh? heehee Off white? You're crackin me up. SPF 50... you are a smart WOMAN! I try to not tan anymore too... we turn 40 and all of a sudden our skin turns weird. Still have a farmers tan on my arms from being outdoors so much though, and I tan out of a bottle from the knees down so I don't blind anyone with my offwhite* and BLUE legs. You know; those funky blue veins that happened at 40 as well? Yeah; you probly wouldn't know.* lol
Great TT list. Glad your inlaws are better.

I would be SUPER Thankful for a sleep in!!!! I dream of the day....I know it is far far away! SIGH!

Ronel Sidney said...

#5 is great!! Not sure if you remember but I started reading through the bible at the begining of the year as well and I have fallen off a time or two... well maybe more than that really but I am so blessed that he is patient with my walk.

Have a great day!!

It's great you're reading the word. That's always a great place to start!

Melanie said...

No more packing lunches for me either...until August anyway.
I pack school lunch 90% of the time. Buying it is expensive and not too healthy!
My kids were done 2 wks ago, while I will be finished up tomorrow.

Yes, I too will be happy when my sons are done with school so that I can sleep in a little! Even though I'm done, I'm still getting up at 6:30 AM in order to get the kids out the door.

I am thankful for Thankful Thursday because I am always so reminded of the many things I am thankful for too that I would have overlooked before.
