Thankful Thursday - 1/7/10 and a Birthday!

Thankful Thursday at Truth 4 the Journey

Welcome to the first TT of 2010. If you'd like to participate, just hop on over to Sonya's at Truth 4 the Journey, and link up after you've posted your own list of five things you are thankful for this week. They can be silly or serious, big or small because God honors them all.

1. I'm thanking God for bringing me this far. 2010!!! Honestly, it is only by His grace and mercy that I am here.

2. Thank you, Lord for my wonderful husband. We spent some much needed precious time together over Christmas break. We even did a movie marathon at the theater and watch Avatar and Sherlock Holmes back to back.

3. I'm thankful that our furnace works....and works well. Seriously, it's down in the single digits at night and barely reaches 20 during the day. Can you say burrrrrrr? Sure makes it hard to ride that motorcycle.

4. Thank you God for the blogging topics, personal growth, and multitude of friendships made through This Day!

5. Praise You, Jesus that You love us enough to have given up everything to come in human form so every single person of can relate to You. No exceptions.

That's my list for this week and the start of a fabulous 2010.  Please leave me a comment and tell me what you're thankful for today, This Day. Thank you for stopping by and saying "hello."

And now for the birthday news. Today my sister, Dee, turns.....ummmmm let's just say it's her birthday. Love you, Sis. If you have time, please stop by her blog, Mrs. Peterson's Place and wish her a Happy Birthday.  She'll be super surprised.

Peace and Joy,
Susan

1 Peter 1:13 (NKJV) 13 Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

Susan,

What a great list and I certainly agree that it's only by God's grace alone that we made it through 2009! Here is hoping for continued faith in His will that 2010 will be a great and blessed year for all of us.

Love and Hugs ~ Kat

This was a fun list. I think one very common thread throughout the thankful lists is the fact that most of us don't really like to be cold. Praise God for heat!

Time out is important, and time out with just your best friend is very important!
Like your list- and thank you for visiting my place earlier!

Hey You! Thank you for the kindness, and for the ummm keeping the number a mystery. It's a mystery to me too :-)

Hugs to you and to all your fellow bloggers for the birthday wishes. The smile on my face and the warmth in my heart express the deep gratitude for the kindness the Lord has allowed me to know. Thank you.

God's peace,
Dee
