THankful THursday


I have been doing Thankful Thursday for  some time...  with long lapses in between... I  started with a  blogger  years ago  and  was pretty faithful to post  with  her  group,  then I read  1000 Gifts  , Ann Voskamps,  marvelous book   of  journalling the many  small  things that God  showers on us  throughout the day... I got up to   the  higher numbers  and life seemed to become so hectic it was  hard to  pay that much  attention to the bright details  that God  was raining on me..  So  now I will pick up    and move forward  now that I have found another  faithful  Blogger to  link up here with each week!!!

825.  I am so thankful for the answer to prayer for our community  this week..  We were  not pummeled with the  weather as predicted.. Florence  gently passed us by..  I saw very little wind or water damage.. Praise  you, Father!
826.  I am so blessed  in the  many friends  and family on facebook and church  who  prayed for me during this last ordeal with Squamous cancer on my nose.. I  had the skin graft  applied last week,  and it was  revealed  yesterday to show it had taken,  was good to go...  and  again,  thank you, Lord, for your loving compassion, mercy, and  great love!
827.   I  am thankful  that   over the last  few weeks while I took a sabbatical from choir,  I am now looking forward to  practicing with dear Hubs  on the Christmas  program this year...  He  sings weekly, too,  but, I'm just not up to that these days. This year's   Christmas program  promises to be  so  wonderful - the selections are  inspiring and  full of gospel,  yet  very heart felt,... for example,  I love this one!!!
828.   I am  very excited that tomorrow   our Sunday School class will be going to  Smith Mountain Lake for a  wonderful afternoon cook out...  The environs are so magnificent...  To be near that water is so spiritually healing for me.. I am hugely thankful to get to go this year!

Farewell

 After  17 years of   blogging  I am  pretty sad to  just fade  out  with  hardly  anyone showing any   farewell,  concern  about my  surger...
