Thankful Thursday


I am thankful for:1)God bringing Bonnie through her surgery yesterday. 2)My husband being home with me Monday, when I passed out. He took great care of me. 3)The May day weight challenge, I am excited about losing weight. 4)God blessing Eddie with a good attitude about his bells palsy. 5)Our niece Brooklyn, making it through her first round of chemo yesterday. 6)Smiles, even though my dear husband can only give me a half smile right now, due to his bells palsy, I treasure each smile he struggles to give me daily. 7)My husbands Doctor, he is a wonderful Christian man. He prays with us, and for us. 8)Friendly neighbors, that actually take the time, to ask how you are doing. 9)People that make an effort to cheer others up, they lift them up, when they are down. 10)My healing Saviour, He has really watched over me this week.

Oh, Denise - I am so sorry to hear that you have passed out on Monday. I am glad that you are okay and that Eddi was there to take care of you, despite himself not feeling well.
You are such strong woman. I pray that your week will end better than it started.

Thank you for sharing about Bonnie's surgery. I am glad that she is doing better.

Thank you for sharing your grateful heart with us this week.

Be blessed today and always.

oooh I am so glad there was someone there with you when you fainted. I've only ever witnessed someone fainting twice in my whole life, and both times it was my 12 year old son. Talk about scary.

Wow I hope you are feeling better today and it was nothing serious. Christian doctors are wonderful and sometimes hard to find, you are blessed. Best wishes for your niece, I can only imagine how difficult all of that is.

Have a great day.

Girl it sounds like you have had a rough one. Glad you have had some help. I know it can be rough when your family is going through some rough health problems. I pray God allows you to rest in His peace
If I read correctly you live in Chattanooga? My younger brother lives there with his wife and kids. It has some beautiful country. We used to go there every summer for a conference at Covenant College from the time I was 5 until I was 18.
I went to Bryan college not far from there.
