Thankful Thursday – New Beginnings
“All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the spirit. Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.” ~ Proverbs 16:2-3 (ESV
Wow, can’t believe that we have 2008. I am somewhat giddy about the new year. I am not sure why…With this being said, I want to just share a fraction of my thankfulness with you today…
- I am thankful that God gives me a fresh start every.single.day.! I don’t have to wait for a new year to have my slate wiped clean…
- I am thankful that I was able to spend a couple of days with my Sweetheart. A new year means some more days off – yeah…
- I am thankful that our son is doing so well in his job. He just got promoted to head IT. Wow, being only 22 – that is huge…Thank you, Lord!
- I am thankful for the Lord guidance over the past three months. I am so excited to see what His plans are for my life this year. Trying to wait on His plans is sometimes hard, but I will not ‘jump the gun’ this year. I know that He is faithful in revealing His plans…
- I am thankful for my health. I will try to take a little bit more care of this ole’ body, like going to bed a little earlier…
So, what are you thankful for today and are you excited about the new year? Do you have plans or goals? Visit my friend Lynn at Spiritually Unequal Marriage to leave your link. I will make sure that I will stop by your blog this week. I will be hosting again starting Jan 17th.
Thanks for stopping by. Blessings on your day and always!

What a wonderful list and it is so nice to know that each day is a new beginning! God Bless you!
I am also giddy with the new year – so unlike me! But God is helping me to reflect on His promises more and more, and He is teaching me SO much! For that, I am very thankful!
Have a blessed day!
It will be so nice to have you back.
I have missed you.
I’m glad you feel “giddy” about the new year – some refreshment, more rest and time with loved ones can bring back the joy and enthusiasm for life that defines you!
Great list, Iris. I’ve missed you! Happy New Year! I need to do my own TT post soon…..
Great to hear from you, Iris. What a wonderful list of thankfuls. I look around me and see areas here in the home I’d like to change. I did just that this morning in the guest room. I hope you’re enjoying your break and that you had a blessed Christmas.
Getting back on track with TT after letting it slide too many weeks. How wonderful to see all that God has blessed us all with!

That really is a great list of things to be thankful for. Congrats to your son! You’ve got to be really excited for him!
You’re right, it’s not always easy to wait on the Lord. I’m making a special effort this year to trust more to His timing, and not my own.
Happy new year to you, and may God grant you much happiness, joy and abundant blessings.
Iris…giddy…I remember that feeling! I am so proud for your son!
