Thankful Thursday

Today, I am thankful for so much!

We have been sick in our house since last week. It started with me and then on to the kids. We have been staying at home and missing most of our activities.

Today, I am thankful that my children are healthy. Yes, they have been sick, but they are getting better. The sickness they have is not an incurable disease. My children are playing and having fun during this sickness.

I am thankful that I get to spend quality time with them and have fun playing whatever they are pretending at the moment.

I am thankful that my house is somewhat messy right now. That means that I have children in my home, playing and enjoying themselves.

I am thankful that I have people who have been praying for us and texting, calling, etc. to check on us. We are blessed!

I am thankful that we have a warm house to be in when they are sick.

I am thankful that we have food on the table and money to buy the medicine they need.


Lord, thank You for your many blessings. We are blessed beyond measure.

What are you thankful for today?

Peace

I am loving the challenge this week from Making Your Home a Haven. I LOVE lighting my candles and praying for peace in my home. I went to Hobby Lobby today because I wanted to buy something with peace written on it to sit by my candle. Of course, I found "peace" and 2 gifts to go along with it. I just HAD to buy these gifts to remind myself that my children are a gift from God EVEN WHEN they FUSS and it's been a TRYING DAY! I love this so much, I may just have to leave it out year around.  I love how a simple reminder keeps us focused on prayer and evermindful of the many blessings we have in our lives.

 

 

"I will give peace and quiteness..." 1 Chronicles 22:9

Jehovah-Shalom

 

I pray that the Lord brings peace and quiteness to the storm that rages within us. It has been a trying couple of weeks for us with disobedience. But I know that my God reigns and He is our peace!

 

Today I am linking up with Women Living Well.
