Thankful Tuesday

I know that this is not Tuesday, but last night at my ladies' Bible class we were talking about how we should list the things we are thankful for no matter how small they may be. I mentioned that I used to do that on a weekly basis through my blog and realized that I need to start again. If any of my readers are interested in this, I highly recommend it. It makes you stop and think and thank. You could post these through a blog, facebook, or just do a personal list at home.

I hope everyone is having a great week!

This week I'm thankful for....

1. Getting to go to Ladies' Bible class. We have been learning about "The ABC's of a Godly Heart". It's a wonderful workbook with most of the verses coming from the book of Psalms. If you're looking for material for a Ladies' class, this series would be great!

2. Christian friends

3. Getting to go to Jessiville's VBS. Yes, it was a long drive, but my kids had a lot of fun and got to see some of their close friends as did I. Thank you for inviting us Darrah!

4. Medical information online. Aubrey had a fever one day, then no fever the next, but a rash had appeared. I was able to look up the symptoms and it said that she probably has Fifth Disease. It does not require a doctor's visit and there is no medicine that she can take for it. That mean's that my $20 co-pay can go toward something else. (for now)

5. My older three kids staying with my parents this week and getting to go to their VBS.

6. Getting a lot of cabinets and closets cleaned out (see previous post)

7. Getting to spend a lot of one-on-one time with Aubrey (see post #5)

8. Kleenexes! Aubrey's nose has been a constant waterfall the past few days.

9. Summertime.

10. And Somertime. On Wednesday nights we have a combined class for ages 1st-6th grade where we sing songs, hear a devo, and work on memory work. This year, every other week we seperate the boys and girls. The girls' class has been so much fun. We put a sign up on the door that says, "No Boys Allowed!". The girls love it. Our theme is "Finding Our Place" and we've been focusing on what gifts God has given us and how we can use them to serve Him. We've had great teachers that have had great lessons and great activities and games.
