“And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.”
~ Colossians 3:14-16 (ESV emphasis mine)
Have you ever had days where you feel like you just want to burst? I don’t know if I have too much caffeine in my body, or am just really, really thankful??? Well, here is my thankful list for this week:
- I am thankful that God places women in my life that love Him as much as I do…Have you heard about Cyndi? She is going to China on a mission. Isn’t that cool? Also, I finally connected with some believers in Christ at work–really cool. Thank you Lord…
- I am thankful that my Sweetheart was able to go to the dentist yesterday. He had an infection, but the dentist was able to help him…My Sweetheart is feeling much better, which in turn makes me feel better…
- I am thankful for our new mattress. I know, I know…I mentioned it last week, but hey – I finally get some good sleep (hm – maybe that is why I am so bouncy 😉 )…
- I am thankful for our house…I know that I never mention it. I am so glad that we have a roof over our heads…
- I am thankful that I won these in a raffle at work…
Yeah – my Sweetheart and I are going to the ballpark on April 27th. Diamondbacks vs. Giants–we are in the dugout-box. How cool is that? - Last but not least, I am thankful for free resources for digi-scrapping. I will share with you a free resource each week…(have I mentioned that I am addicted to digi-scrapping?). This week’s resource: Scrap Girls. They have freebies and great tips on digi-scrapping…

Boy, I hear you about that new mattress, Iris. There’s nothing worse than a bad one and when we got our new one, I felt like I was sleeping in heaven, a little early.
I’m glad your hubby got some relief. Tooth pain might just possibly be the only thing worse than sleeping on a bad mattress. 🙂
Nice list. I loved it.
wow that’s so neat going to a live game! I have aspirations to be able to see a live rugby match at some stage 🙂
Congrats on the raffle, how cool is that!! Take your camera. And you make me laugh about the mattress =)) A good nights sleep does make a difference.
And you are making me miss my computer with these digi-scrapping =))
What a great list. I enjoyed reading it. Have a great day.
What a great list! Those tickets might cause a little jealousy around here! My husband is a huge baseball fan! Have a great time at the game!
Just keep talking about that mattress girl. I really need to go shopping for a new one too, but I keep forgetting. lol And you keep reminding me:)
Congrats on winning the tix – how fun!
And shelter and good health – what more can we ask for.

After only about 2 hours sleep last night I can so relate to the mattress! Baseball tickets! Awesome! My favorite sport! You have a great list! Hugs!
Your bubbly, thankful heart is such a blessing today Iris. I absolutely agree about the good night’s sleep. I don’t get enough of them – so when I do it is just wonderful!!
I just found your Thankful Thursday today. I was thinking trying to make something like this myself. I typed in “Thankful Thursday” to see if anyone else came up with the idea. Great minds think alike! So I gladly participated! I am thankful that you host Thankful Thursday! Glad you got a good night’s sleep too!
Oh, how fun that you won the raffle. I hope you enjoy the game!
Yey for the raffle win! Hope you have a great time.

“I am thankful that my Sweetheart was able to go to the dentist yesterday. He had an infection, but the dentist was able to help him…My Sweetheart is feeling much better, which in turn makes me feel better… ”
Amazing, isn’t it, how much better WE feel when the hubby is “fixed”? *smile*
I had a conversation with my daughter just today about her daddy. I know you have probably heard the phrase “When mama ain’t happy ain’t nobody happy” It works the same on daddy! 🙂
Hi Iris,
Yeah I feel like that most days, in the morning especially, like I am filled with a little fire that I might not be able to contain.. lol. I hope you have peaceful weekend.
Mine’s up late, sorry about that. 🙂 God bless!
And…great list!
How great that you won the raffle! Wonderful list! Thanks for sharing and for hosting this on Thursdays! You are a blessing!
Yes, being thankful for a good nights sleep in a loving home is very important. Thankful for finding your blog!
