Happy Thursday!! Wow, what a week I have had since last TT. If you want to share what you are thankful for this week or to read other TT posts just go to Iris's at Sting My Heart. Thank you Iris for hosting one of my favorite things to do in bloggy land!

Praise the Lord. How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and fitting to praise him! Psalm 147:1

I am thankful, as most of you know, for finding a new church since we moved! My son told me this was the first Sunday that he didn't dread. He was tired of going from church to church. I am thankful for the woman who God put in my path to show us where to go and told us a little about the church in what little time we had that morning.

I am thankful for the things God is teaching me in His Word.

I am thankful that God is our Redeemer, Friend, Witness and Advocate.

I am thankful for being able to see God working in my children's lives.

I am thankful that my best friend Cecelia and my good friend Jennifer are coming to visit at the end of February. I haven't seen them in a few months and we think that is to long. :o) We are planning on playing Phase 10 and eating some good food and I am not sure what else we are going to do but I am sure it will be a weekend full of laughter!!!

I am thankful for the sweet ladies who visit here on Friday and share the ways God has shown His presence to them throughout the week and I am thankful God called us to do this because it is all to the glory of God!

I am thankful that God protected us through the storms last night.

I am thankful for the warmer weather we had for a few days. I think I am ready for Spring.

I hope you have a wonderful Thursday !

Your the God Stop Lady--nice to meet you. Several of the girls I visit with do this. BTW-I think this is a fantastic idea. It really makes us think--and I like that and I know God does.
I am glad God is speaking and working in your life.
He is amazing isn't He?
It was good to meet you.

Well...today on Wednesday night I am soooooo thankful for Bible study. We are currently doing Wising Up in my home each Wed. morning....this weeks lesson was on friendship! WOW! POWERFUL STUFF! I'm thankful for teachers, my friends, His Word and His work in every.single.detail of our lives.

I just sit in awe of Him and feel a fresh love for His beauty all over again.

Hugs Patty! And, I love that you love your new church. God is so good.

Thanks Patty for stopping by my bloggy today. I liked your Thankful list...I am glad that you have found a Church. I know that is of the utmost importance to find a home Church :)

FYI: If you didn't know already, I am the woman in the front row of the Deeper Still Conference picture you have on your blog. I am at the very end standing by my taller friend with the white skirt on. I think I may have said hello to you that day :)

OK, I see that my taller friend in the white skirt is crouching down so I look like the taller one :)

I'm glad you found a good church - it can be rough when you're in the looking stage.

Also, I'm thankful for your God Stop Fridays too (I know I haven't participated yet, but I will, I promise).

I love that swing on your header. I've always loved them. I need to do a post on it.

A beautiful list. Happy you have found the church. Children need to feel comfortable too. They don't always tell us.

Your Friday group sounds fun and a blessing.

I know you are looking forward to some "girl" time with your friends.
Have a blessed week.

What a lovely, comforting post! It is great that you found a church where you feel at home. I praise God with you for all the godly people that He is placing in our paths to shepherd, accompany and befriend us on our way to Him. Have a lovely weekend.
