I am thankful with a grateful heart this week for...
Christ in my Life - I have said it a hundred times, I would just be a puddle of mess without Him! He is my Rock, my Source of strength, my Guide. He did the ultimate in Love by sending His Son to this earth to pay the penalty for my sins. He sent the Holy Spirit to overtake my conscience and make me realize my need for a Savior. Praise the Lord!
Working Out - Yeah, I know, you are thinking, who is thankful for working out. Oh, I am ladies, I am! I started with my personal trainer this week and it's hard, but girls, I can taste and see the end project - me thinner and healthier, and I WANT THAT. I want life and I am actively choosing it.
My Boo - He blows my mind so many days with his memory of trips and times he has done special things with people. He was recalling last week and Chuckie Cheese and then he was thinking about our trip to FL and going to Busch Gardens with his Papaw and seeing elephants! He is one of the greatest gifts the Lord has given me...which is why working out is so important, so I can be here to enjoy him.
Birthday Month - Oh my sweet mercy, if you didn't know, it's BIRTHDAY MONTH!!! ALL month! Come BACK for more! Addendum: It's Terri at In His Hands birthday today! She is participating in Thankful Thursday! Drop by her site!!
Old Job/New Job - I have one week left at the Landscape Company and then I will have some days off and then begin training and working in my preschool room. It's bitter-sweet really. I will be sad to leave Tri Scapes and the people there, but I am looking forward to spending more time with my boys.
The Lord grows my heart each day for more of Him...I am learning that when that happens it's because He wants more of me too.
Be Blessed today!
Love,
Karen

Great list, and happy birthday.
Thanks for stopping by my place.
Have a great day.
Wonderful thankfulness! Now on the "working out"....hmmmm....I am glad you are adding that---just don't make me go too. :) hee hee.
Your list is inspiring! I had to mentally add some of these to my own (didn't change my post though), you gave me good reminders!
Okay, so you've reminded me that I need to go do my daily walk on the treadmill, and to be thankful for it. ;-)
I'm happy for you that you are starting now (at 30 ~ Happy Birthday!)to get healthy.
Many blessings to you!
Looks like we have a lot in common here in GA. Great list.
Congrats on the new job. What a wonderful adventure you are beginning!
And HAPPY BIRTHDAY to all celebrating.
