Thankful Thursday

I love thankful Thursday. It gives me an opportunity at least once a week to count my blessings.

Today I am thankful for spending time with family.
Please forgive our appearances. This was taken Monday morning after a total of 20 hours sleep in 4 days. We were running on fumes.

My beautiful Mom, whom at 83 is still looking as gorgeous as ever.

My handsome father. I think we totally made their year by all being together for this period in time. 

My handsome brother and his beautiful wife. Although we were only all together briefly it was so worth it.

 I am thankful for the fact that with all the horrendous storms we have been having, our place has been spared.

I am thankful for the fact that I paid all our bills today. Not that it is exciting to necessarily pay bills but the fact that every month we have the money to do so.

I am thankful for an amazing husband who is supporting me so much.

I am thankful that we were able to get two free T.V.'s today. One for our son and one for a young woman we consider our other daughter.

I am thankful for God's glory. We saw this on the way home today and had to take a picture. Thank goodness I had my camera. :)
This coincidentally is also going to be my Photo of the Day. It is titles ONE.  
I am linking up today with Theresa for Thankful Thursday.

  4. Beautiful photo. So glad you were able to spend priceless time with family. I'm always thankful for hot, running water and the ability to pay the bills- such luxuries! Looking forward to getting to know you through Hello Mornings, hope you'll stay in touch.

    1. Thank you. I am always thankful for the simple things. I realize here in Canada, things like hot running water, a roof over my head and the ability to pay bills is simple but for me they are priceless.
      I am also looking forward to getting to know you better.
