thinking thankfully on thursdays

Here are the first seven things that pop into my head that I am thankful for today:

• my mom--not only is she a great mom, she is also my best friend



• the speed of the internet--which makes communicating with my mom (and others) very easy and cheap



• my clothes dryer--went two years without one (what a difference!)



• fresh flowers--they always make me smile



• my new camera--old one died right before christmas



• music--it makes spring cleaning so much more fun



• decluttering!!--it makes me happy to release stuff :)

Ha!  Can I add an eighth?  I am thankful for being able to be thankful!!  I have so much to be thankful for--what a blessing!

Today, my heart is also shouting, "thank you, Daddy God, for being who you are!!"  This Psalm from David seems to capture my own heart's song:

Thank you! Everything in me says "Thank you!" Angels listen as I sing my thanks.  I kneel in worship facing your holy temple and say it again: "Thank you!" Thank you for your love, thank you for your faithfulness; Most holy is your name, most holy is your Word.  The moment I called out, you stepped in; you made my life large with strength.  When they hear what you have to say, God, all earth's kings will say "Thank you."  They'll sing of what you've done: "How great the glory of God!" (Psalms 138:1-5)

YEA!!!!  What a great God we serve!!  Oh, how very different He is from the other gods!  So, very unique!  There is NONE other like Him!
