This week...
1. I am thankful that I can rejoice in the Lord always (Philippians 4:4), in spite of circumstances, because He never changes. "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." Hebrews 13:8
2. I am thankful for my sister-in-
3. I am thankful for the I Love Your Blog award (see my sidebar) given to me by Richele. It's an encouragement to me to know that some people actually read and enjoy my blog :). To God alone be glory and praise!
4. I am thankful for my daughter's beautiful heart and Godly character. She is very sweet and helpful. I love her behind-me-out-of-nowhere hugs :)! She is such a big help to me...doing chores, teaching her younger brothers, baking, etc. In Growing in Grace Magazine's this month issue, one of my daughter's four articles is What I Have Learned from My Mom. All I can say is she's too kind :)!
5. I am thankful that God makes each one of us unique...not all the same as cookie cutter people. Each person is fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139: 14a) by the Creator of the universe. Whenever we play Alphabet Name Game (an icebreaker kind of games: people in the group one by one say an adjective that starts with the same alphabet as their name's first letter and that describes them), I usually say "unique" or "unusual" since my first name starts with a "U". I like the song, "More Beautiful You" by Jonny Diaz. We are precious and beautiful in God's eyes; that's all it matters. God has plans and purposes for our unique lives (Jeremiah 29:11). Be yourself; be who God made you to be! And if you ever want to be like someone else, choose to be like CHRIST!

So much to be thankful for! Happy TT!
You have a great list. And as mom's there is no greater reward then knowing we somehow made a difference in the lives of our children. Sounds like you did a great job! Have a wonderful day. Blessings, Debbie
Love the music. I have always wanted to know why someone would put up copyscape. When you have time I would like to know. Is it to protect your family pictures. If it is I need to get it. You have a beautiful blog. I enjoyed reading your thankful list. It's wonderful to have children with kind, sweet hearts. Doylene
