4Real Forums: Thankful Thursdays, Anyone?

Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I really wanted to host a fresh round of Thankful Thursdays this week but just didn't get to it. I did however manage to squeeze out a (rather lengthy

) post on my blog.

In the spirit of spiritually preparing to face the upcoming season of hectic craziness for mothers, I'd love to hear what you are thankful for this week.

Let's celebrate our blessings! Post it here or leave a link.

I'm thankful for the many gifts from my heavenly Father...

*His tender mercies that are new each morning
*His faithfulness to me, though I am not faithful to Him
*a wonderful husband full of integrity and love for his family
*3 beautiful children who bless my soul
*a wonderful home with warmth in the winter and cool in the summer
*the daily provision of all we need and more
*the blessing of fellow brothers and sisters in Christ to fellowship with
*a wonderful church family
*the small things that the Lord provides us with, even though we don't need these things, He blesses us so mightily with little gifts of His love - books, chocolate, shopping trips alone, naps...and so much more!

I am thankful for wonderful friends who lift me up in times of need.

I am thankful for a warm house full of children.

I am thankful for the little kicks inside me assuring me of my little guy's vitality.

Great idea, Diane! Thanks for the food for thought.

I am thankful for:

- my wonderful husband who is being such a support through all these days of my not feeling so well - who is working so hard at the office and at home

- my energetic, healthy and happy kids

- my 3 month old who is the smiliest and happiest little cuddle muffin that I have ever seen

- that I had a day pain free and with a positive attitude yesterday

- my friend Terri who gave me the book "The Heart of Homeschooling" to read this week when I felt so discouraged
