A Thankful Woman's Book of Blessings


Judy over at A Thankful Woman's Book of Blessings, hosts this meme every Wednesday. Simply list five things (or a prayer or any thoughts) for which you are truly thankful this week. Voicing my thanks helps put my life in perspective & realize that, no matter how bad things might be, there is still MUCH good surrounding me.

Dear Heavenly Father, I am full of thanks for the following things:

1) Thank you for a little extra sleep this morning. The Prophet helped by getting The Saint up & giving him some breakfast. The only thing he didn't do for me was start my coffee!

2) Thank you for the rain we've had the past couple days. Even though it is VERY dreary & the munchkins have major cabin fever, it is much needed. And there are so many beautiful shades of green outside.

3) Thank you for the homeschool conference coming up this weekend. I've been wanting to go for several years & everything just fell into place for us this year. Casinodad is going w/ me, while my mom comes Friday afternoon to stay overnight & his mom will watch the munchkins on Saturday.

4) Thank you the tutor who's been coming a couple times a week to help The Prophet. There were a few areas in Math & Language Skills where we were having some trouble, so it has helped to have someone else present them in a different way.

5) Thank you that we only have another week & a half left of school. It's been a long year for us & we'd gotten quite a bit behind, so we've been working hard the last couple months to catch up. All of us are anxiously awaiting the upcoming summer break!

Great list of blessings. A little extra sleep is always good. As for the coffee :) I love the timer function on my Mr. Coffee- I set it the night before- or if I don't know what time I want it- I just set it all up so all I have to do is push the button. Little things... :)
Thanks for sharing and God Bless!
