Thankful Thursday

“None is more impoverished than the one who has no gratitude. Gratitude is a currency that we can mint for ourselves, and spend without fear of bankruptcy.” ~Fred De Witt Van Amburgh

Father –  gratitude  – a virtue we can spend and spend and never run out of.  May I spend it lavishly on you Jesus giving thanks for…

471.  Those who blog, they encourage and challenge me.  I am amazed how God leads to words that nourish and heal just when I need them.  (The post from this past Tuesday links to some who have become God-given blessings in my life)

472. Firefighters and those in the forestry service who put  out our grass fire last week.  I am so grateful no one was injured and only grass and underbrush was burned

 

473.  Fun sun and dear son-in-love have finished one chicken tractor.  Now month old chicks can peck and scratch to their hearts content

474.  Sunshine and warm temperatures

475.  Sitting on neighbor’s porch chatting

476.  For a leader inviting me to a meeting for women’s ministry

477.  Wednesday night Bible study class

478.  Awesome worship leaders

479.   Wherever I walk, the presence of Christ and his redeeming work is all around

480.  His power at work in me – changing me
