Thankful Thursday

I wasn't able to post this yesterday so I guess it's really thankful Friday:)

I follow another blog that does a post every Thursday called "Thankful Thursday" and I love the idea, so I thought I would start my own Thankful Thursday post and give thanks for whatever is on my heart that day!

"Give thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ" Ephesians 5:20

I am so thankful for the cooler weather this week. Fall is my favorite season and the weather this week makes me happy :) I can't wait until the first sweater day!

I am thankful for my Grammy who turns 83 today (yesterday)! Happy Birthday, Grammy!

I am thankful for God's provision! My dad just got a new job that we have been praying about for a long time. He started on Monday and I am so excited for him because this is the position he has been wanting for a while and it is a great opportunity for him.

I am thankful for my dog Maggie, she had to have surgery this week and did great! She is old and I was nervous she might not make it (I have to share this...when we picked her up from the vet she was all drugged up still. We brought her home and put her in the backyard and she just sat for the longest time and stared directly at the brick wall...it was the funniest thing :)

I am so thankful Jesus died for my sins! We took communion at church on Sunday and watched a video of Jesus being beaten and then crucified. Watching that video, God gave me a fresh revelation of the fact that Jesus did that for ME (it became so personal)! AMAZING His love for us! It touched me so much because without that sacrifice I would have had no hope...he endured the beating, ridicule, and torture and died for MY Sins. I remember my past and I am so thankful that Jesus went to the cross to make a way for me (and you!)

There is much to be thankful for!
