A Thankful Woman's Book of Blessings

My dear blogging friend, 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.

1) I'm thankful that, even though there were storm & tornado warnings overnight & we woke all the munchkins to go to the basement, nothing severe occurred & all of us were calm.

I pray for those who have recently had to endure severe weather, losing homes & lives.

2) I'm thankful for the food & drink on our basement, pantry, & refrigerator shelves.

I pray for those who are going without, unable to provide for their families & selves.

3) I'm thankful for the roof over our heads, keeping us safe & comfortable.

I pray for those who are homeless, living in cars, streets, or homeless shelters.

4) I'm thankful for the jobs which Casinodad & I have that enable us to provide for our munchkins.

I pray for all who are without jobs right now.

5) I'm thankful for my Lord & Savior Jesus Christ, who is there to help me through the tough times & celebrate the good.

I pray for those who do not know Jesus & hope that more will come to know Him as this Lenten season comes to a close & the Easter season begins.
