Thankful Thursday ~ Long Weekends

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 3:16 (ESV)

Oh, there are so many things to be thankful for each day…I am thankful for the roof over our heads, running water, food…

This week I want to especially share my thankfulness for the past long weekend. My body needed it. I have been crazy busy at work. I am looking forward to the day I retire 😆 …My body is too old to have such a hectic schedule.

This past weekend, we didn’t do too much; just kicking up our feet, read, watch old movies. On Sunday afternoon we took a trip downtown Phoenix. Phoenix was blessed to have a guest exhibition of Ansel Adams’ photography. This man was so amazing. Adams’ lifework is still a great inspiration for photographers around the world 😛 . If you ever have the chance to view his photos in a gallery, make time for it.

When looking at Adams’ photos on Sunday, I wanted to just pack up my camera and travel the world…maybe one day God allows me to follow that dream 😉 …

What are you thankful for this week? Please share with us by leaving a link to your Thankful Thursday post below.

Thank you for stopping in. Remember: take time to thank God for the beauty of nature…stop and smell the roses as they say.

Thankful Thursday – Possibilities

‘Jesus looked at them and said, “With man it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.”’ ~ Mark 10:27 (ESV)

Do you believe that your lofty dreams can become reality? Well, I can’t say too much (yet), but this girl (me) is very giddy, excited, and (very) nervous at the same time…A couple of very exciting opportunities have presented themselves in the past 48 hours – amazing…One word – photography.

So, before I share my grateful heart with you all this week, I wanted you to know that I will be going on a little blogging break to pursue the ‘artistic’ side of me.

But no worries; Thankful Thursday will continue during my absence from blogging at ‘Grace Alone’. My dear friend Lori, at Lori’s Reflections will be hosting Thankful Thursday for the rest of January. Please stop by her place on January 22nd and 29th…

  • Lord, thank You for your unfailing love. I know that Your timing is always perfect. Thank You for opening some doors for me – You are amazing!!!! Thank You Lord for the talents You have given me…

  • I am thankful for my beloved. He is so patient answering all my silly questions about photography. He is my critic – and I am thankfully listening to all his suggestions. He is a great cheer-leader 😛

  • I am thankful that I was able to purchase a ‘big girl’ camera last year. My Canon Rebel and I have become very good friends 😆 . You can find some of images on my photo-blog

  • I am thankful for my friend, Lori. She offered to take over Thankful Thursday for the next two weeks so I can pursue the artistic side of me

  • And I am thankful for photographers like Ansel Adams. He was an amazing photographer. If you like photography and are not familiar with his work, check out his on-line gallery…

What are you thankful for this week? Please do share with us in leaving your link below. Please make sure that you are posting a Thankful Thursday blog this week before linking to this post (I had to remove 3 links last week)…

Thank you for stopping by today – remember: never give up on a dream – be patient – as you know: All things are possible with God 😉 .

Blessings to you and yours…
