Finally Friday: BE THANKFUL

This week didn't feel overly long, but as always, I am thankful for Fridays!  A day off with two more to come. IT'S THE WEEKEND!

Today I am thankful for:

- my kids being home (inservice day)
- coffee with a friend this morning to praise God for how He moves and works in our lives
- my daughter who came with me grocery shopping this morning - an activity that brings me much anxiety and dread, but made so much easier because she was there
- Bible Study tonight - a group of people we as a family are all thankful for - kids and adults alike!
- God showing us incredible ways how He is working
- the fact that it's January 31, and that means it's one month closer to summer!
- the opportunity to teach piano - what joy my students bring me!!!
- how God provides for us financially - K & I both have jobs that we so enjoy
- opportunities to minister
- and finally, not lastly because there are so many more things that I am thankful for, but this one made me SMILE big this morning:   THE SEED PACKETS TO START SEEDLINGS ARE OUT - BOTH FLOWERS AND VEGGIES!  yes!!!!!!  I am so ready for spring. . . .


I trust you will be able to find many things to be thankful for on this Friday - at the close of a week.  Praying that God will make Himself real to you and that you will see the blessings in your every day life.
