Thankful Thursday



I have so much to be thankful for. I seem to always mention my kids and hubby, all of whom I am crazy about! (In case you haven't noticed by now.) I also tend to mention my family, which is wonderful! No in-law issues here. But God has also blessed me with some amazing friends. Amazing women who are always there (or here?) for me. So today, I am going to tell you about an amazing friend of mine. Those of you who know her, see if you can guess who it is.

This woman has been blessed with a servant's heart. She loves to serve at church, her friends, her family, and yes, even total strangers. Sometimes we will meet for breakfast way too early in the morning, just so we can hang out and talk and share. I can tell this gal ANYTHING and know it goes no further. She listens to me rant and rave and doesn't bat an eye when I come back later to apologize. She just accepts me in all of my humaness.

She is an inspiration in her desire to know the Word of God. She is so open about what she doesn't know that it allows the rest of us to be just as honest.

She is a mom of two, caretaker for many more, and yet always has time to talk when I call. She's an amazing listener.

She is a gorgeous lady, inside and out and I am blessed to know her and call her friend!

Thankful Thursday




10 If one falls down,

his friend can help him up.

But pity the man who falls

and has no one to help him up!

Ecc. 4:10

I am so thankful for my girl friends.

The ones that live next door to me.

The ones I see at church.

The ones with whom I study to better know our Abba Father

The ones who watch my children so I can breathe.

(not to mention cook and do my laundry!)

The ones who watch my children so we can have date night!

The ones who call so we can meet for coffee or dinner.

The ones I only know through the convenience of modern technology.

The ones I met in China.

The ones who call just to say 'I've been thinking of you. '

The ones who email me for prayers.

The ones that used to be students but are now friends.

The one I call 'sister', and my many sisters in Christ.

The one I call mother.

The sisters I have by marriage.

The mother I gained when I married.

The ones that I can complain to and the ones I listen to.

The ones I can call at any time day or night (and you know who you are.)

The one who doesn't even speak my language but seems to know my heart as well as I do.

I am so grateful for my girl friends!

Thankful Thursday



I have so much to be thankful for.

My oldest daughter. Grace is such an amazing young girl with an incredible love for people.

Olivia is truly a princess. She is insistent about it. But she truly is one, to me.

Josiah, my little man. He is such a funny little guy. His favorite thing right now is to tell us everyone he loves. It's quite a list.

My Charis is such a funny little thing. Half of the time, she is pretending she is a puppy. But as soon as I sit down, she is my little cuddle bug, climbing up on my lap.

And my baby, Elliana. She is such a joy. She is growing up way too fast trying to keep up with the rest of the Jobe crew.

And lastly, my wonderful husband. You'll have to go back a few posts for just one example of how great he is!!

May you feel blessed today and be thankful for it!!

The Lord is good and his mercy endures forever!!!
