I've seen the Grains of Gratitude meme on other blogs and thought it was such a great idea! How appropriate that we should express gratitude, on the Lord's Day, for the blessings we've received over the past week!
I am so blessed and thank God each day for the blessings He has given me in this life. I am especially grateful this week for my job! I am blessed to have such a good job and to have such great co-workers! I am grateful that I have my own office and am able to enjoy the quiet that surrounds me and am able to better concentrate on my job at hand. I love quiet!
I am grateful for my husband, who is very kind and loving to me. He is patient with me as I adjust to my new job and has actually been helping more - without my asking - with tasks that have to be done around the house! I am grateful for his wonderful temperament - he is very laid-back and calm - even when I feel completely overwhelmed!
I am thankful for my daughters, who call me during the week when they want to tell me about something special the kids have said or done. I love that they include me in the daily "fun" with their children. I'm thankful that my daughters are good wives and good mothers - loving and kind.
I am thankful for my son. He is 17 - a teenager, but not how you generally think of a teen. He is kind and loving most of the time. He is a good kid - making good choices in friends and activities. I love watching him as he is changing from a boy to a man! My prayer for him is that he will love the Lord and have a desire to serve Him all the days of his life! I also pray that he will - in time - find a Godly woman to share his life with in that service.
I am thankful for "bloggers" I have met online and thankful that I can pray for them in their struggles. I have certain sites that I regularly read and receive inspiration from the strength and the faith in God that is expressed in the posts of others - like Heather, Annie and Valerie.

I am thankful for so many blessings and this meme is a great way to express that gratitude for my blessings. Thank you, Christine, for hosting this meme and asking "What Are You Thankful For, Today?"
I love that you are focused on all the blessings in your life. God is good, all the time.
ReplyDeleteThanks sooo much for joining in! What a GREAT first Grains :) I love reading everyone's list each week, as it lifts me so much and helps me reflect on how good the world is, and sometimes I have a hard time remembering that LOL
ReplyDeleteI hope your new job continues to go well, it sounds wonderful! And, I hope that when my daughter's grow up, they will call me and share their children's lives with me, as well - what could be better than that!!!
