Thankful Thursday



I'm doing this 24 hours earlier as we are traveling over night. I'll be back to check in tomorrow afternoon.

1. Our children's Christmas play was just the cutest! What a sweet and fun way to share the Gospel.








2. I am so thankful for how cute my sugar cookies turned out for the fellowship after the Christmas play on Sunday evening. I have never been able to make sugar cookies and I shared that with an extra special friend. Look at the blessings of God friends....








3. Hubs called one day at lunch time asking if I would like to ride along with him to a neighboring town. I was thrilled to have that time with him and this particular town has a Starbucks in the Target. Other wise we drive 200 miles for a Starbucks. Perhaps that was tmi? There was a gentleman in front of Hubs that we know (small world) and he blessed us with our coffee. Thank You Mr. C and God.




4. I am so thankful that our trip today is built all around sharing Christmas this evening with family and our grandchildren. So cool that we can do this, instead of shipping packages and not seeing their faces as they open them. THANK YOU LORD for this opportunity.


5. I am thankful for those ladies that take time in today's world to actually hand write and mail a Christmas card. There is something that touches my heart deeply about receiving a card or letter that is hand written.


Until we meet again, may your hearts shine and soar for Jesus. May you be on the look-out for His presence in every thing and every where. He is THERE....are you looking? And I continue with one more challenge, if you aren't already, would you be WILLING to love Jesus today?

Thankful and lovingly,

Yolanda

You scared me! I was trying over and over to see what day it was! Alas, all I had to do was read! That was great and I'm thankful that it's not Thursday yet! Happy travels!
