Thankful Thursday
It's that time again. Time to celebrate Thankful Thursday Please join me,Sonya and all the others in taking a moment to be thankful for the blessings that God has given us.
1. I am thankful for all my Blog friends. You are all really wonderful people. After my last post, I got a lot of uplifting and encouraging emails. Thank you all.
2. I am thankful for my broken riding mower. I am not sure why yet but there must be a reason for it breaking down. The part that I went to get turned out to be the wrong one so the mower is still broken. I do however have two push mowers and two boys. Hmmmm do the math.
3. I am thankful that it is payday. I thought this day would never come. That was the longest two weeks that I can remember. Doing without makes one appreciate when you have things. I am contemplating fasting for a few days very soon. Anyone want to do it with me?
4. I am thankful for another great spin class. The songs last night were uplifting and inspirational. I found myself praying through some of the ride and getting not only some much needed physical strength but some spiritual strength as well.
5. I am thankful for ever growing patients. A lot of things have been happening in my life lately that in years ago would have pushed me over the edge. Now I just think about them for a moment and then put them in the “it really doesn’t matter” pile and go on with my life. I am still having tons of challenges but they are now rolling off like water off a ducks back. Quack quack.
Have a Blessed day,
Greg

I tell ya, I am very impressed with you and your spin class, that takes endurance, congrats at keeping with it!
Pay day here is tomorrow, can't wait!
Another great list - thanks for sharing and reminding us to count our blessings.
But I'm glad to see you are realizing what really matters and not stressing over what doesn't. That's a hard distinction for me sometimes, too.
We also have two mowers and two mowing-able boys. It's niiiiiiiice.
Have a great day!
Yep two boys + two pushmowers = greg's yard being cut!
So glad you are doing well in spin class, what exactly do you do there? spin? dance? I truly want to know!
I highly recommend reading his book if you get the chance. It has given me the right perspective on what to expect out of a fast.
Take care!

As always a great list! You combine blessings with a bit of humor and that is so like you. I am blessed that you continue to lighten our loads and not only make us laugh sometimes, but definitely smile for sure.
Love and Hugs ~ Kat
Whenever I pop by and you've posted a Thankful Thursday, I really love it! It makes me smile as I read what you are thankful for, and then it makes me smile as I think of things I am thankful for.
I am thankful for you and your Thankful Thursday posts!!
I am blessed in many ways.
Keep on smiling and praying though spin classes!!!!
:-)
Just sharing the first thought that came to my mind after reading your post.
I'm ever impressed with all that spinning. You shoulda been a spider.

Don't you just love the way God orchestrates our circumstances. Two sons and two push mowers, what could be better? LOL!
