Thankful Thursday

Once again, it's Thursday, and I have so much to be thankful for. I am amazed that when Thursday rolls around, I always have 5 brand new, little things that I can recognize.

I don't think we take the time to recognize all the LITTLE THINGS we have that get us through our journies. We think we need BIG STUFF. But, we don't. The only BIG THING we need is God. As long as I have my God, I'll keep praising all the little things He blesses me with along the way.

So, here is what I'm thankful for today:

1. The greener grass!
It's so exciting to look out and see the grass getting greener. Oh, how that brightens my day!

2. Hair ties
Because the patented locks for cupboards don't work for my magician son. He still gets in! But, hair ties do the trick! :)

3. My new friend, Deanna, and her hubby Scott.
I don't even know where to begin on this one. So, I won't. I may be able to tell you a story later... :)

4. The screen on my front door.
I just love getting up in the morning on these warm days and opening the front door. I love the breeze coming through and the sun that is beating down on our front porch. Oh, how that lifts the spirit!

5. The bagels that my neighbor gave me on Monday.
I was out running with the kids and my neighbor (a drug rep) had a huge, extra box of bagels from Panera. He asked if I wanted them. I knew we wouldn't and shouldn't eat them all so I decided that I needed to ask some friends over this week to help me out. So, I was able to connect deeper with 3 wonderful friends this week.

Thank you, God, for all the LITTLE THINGS.
