Thankful Thursday.

I often see on blogs that people spend a fair amount of time complaning and griping. I too am guilty of doing it as well..And still will from time to time. So taking today to write about being thankful. Sometimes it's hard you may have to dig deep. I have many blessings My Girls for 1..they are healthy..That is something you sometimes take for granted. Just spend 5 minutes at caringbridge.com and you will know what I mean. So many sick children in this world it breaks my heart. Always makes me want to hold my babies close and never let them go. Another thing to be thankful for which many take for granted as well is my husband, sure we can all gripe about them. He is amazing, crazy smart & talented. He works hard to provide a lifestyle for us which allows me to stay home with our daughters. I'm trying to be more greatful for him. I know he works hard for us everyday. And most of all im greatful That God gave us his son to die for our sins so that we may be forgiven for our sins. That is HUGE. When you think of that sacrifice that was made for us as sinners its just bigger than what you can really wrap your mind around. I was trying to find a good scripture on thankfullness to post here but, had a hard time choosing what I wanted to use. So I decided on an entire chapter


Psalm 66
1Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:

2Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious.

3Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.

4All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah.

5Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men.

6He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.

7He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.

8O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard:

9Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.

10For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.

11Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins.

12Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.

13I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows,

14Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.

15I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.

16Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.

17I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.

18If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:

19But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

20Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
