Thankful Thursday!!


Thankful Thursday at Truth 4 the Journey

I'm joining Sonya at Truth 4 the Journey for Thankful Thursday. Please stop by and visit Sonya--check out her blog and everyone else who is participating!! Maybe you'd like to join us!! I'm sure we can all think of 5 things we are thankful for--big or small!!

So, here we go with my 5 thankfuls for this week:

  • I am thankful that even though my son had a car accident on Saturday night in the ice and was thought to be injured, he was not. I am also thankful that the damages to the car were not too major and can be repaired easily.
  • :I am thankful that my daughters' best friend since they were very young delivered her baby safely--a healthy 8 pound 3 ounce baby boy--despite a scare at the end of her labor and an emergency C-section.
  • I am thankful that I have a job with good benefits. I work in a physicians' office, and every day I see more and more people coming in who have lost their job or their health benefits. There are many days when my job seems almost overwhelming to me and can be very stressful, but I am thankful that I have this place to go to every day.
  • I am thankful that I finally saw the albino squirrel that frequents my apartment complex. Hopefully, the next time I see him, I'll have my camera with me. He is a rare sight and actually rather beautiful--all fluffy and a huge white tail!
  • I am thankful that even though I wasn't able to attend a gathering at my church last night due to illness that people cared enough to call and ask where I was and what could they do for me. This reaching out meant so much to me when I wasn't feeling well--just knowing that I am loved and cared for by others.
Oh, I could go on, but I have to go and draw the winner for my angel. I'll announce that tomorrow!! Hope to see you at Sonya's!!

I also have some blog blessings to share--probably tomorrow or Saturday at the latest!! Stop by because I have some blessings to pass on to you!!

Beth - thanks for sharing your blessings. They made me stop, reflect, pray and smile. Does it really get any better than that? I didn't think so!

Beth, it's good to focus on what we're grateful for, isn't it? I like that we share healthcare too. Although I no longer work in this field, I worked for more than 20 years as a nurse in the cardiac area. The last ten were with a cardiologist. I hope you feel better.
