THANKFUL THURSDAY NOVEMBER 6, 2014 #NaBloPoMo

So today is day 6 of the NaBloPoMo challenge.  Today's post is a thankful Thursday post. 

Today I am thankful for:

1)  My husband and his job that allows him to take off like yesterday to drive us to renew a military ID card for one child and take another child to an appointment about 2 hours away at Hershey Medical Center.

2)  I am thankful for the doctors and staff in the Genetics department at the Hershey Medical Center for their willingness to take the time to answer any questions I might have had during the appointment, plus to explain why what our son might have been diagnosed with was not present in our son.

3)  I am thankful for my childrens' sense of humor.  All four children have the ability to make me laugh.  They come up with some of the craziest and best things to say.  They keep things lively and interesting around our home.

4)  I am thankful for good friends.  For the past two Sundays, we were able to have different families over to our home to share food and fellowship with each other.

5)  I am thankful for Proverbs 31 Ministries Online Bible Studies.  With four children that I homeschool, a husband in the military and everything we have going on in our lives, it is nice to be able to fellowship and spend time in God's Word with other ladies - but when it is convenient or anytime I just need to be with ladies who can lift me up with prayer.

So what are you thankful for today?

Day 3 of NaBloPoMo

Today is day 3 of NaBloPoMo.  The weekend is now over and it is Monday morning.  There is so much promise and potential for the coming week.  After all, it is not written yet.  It can become whatever I make it out to be.  If I decide it is going to be a wonderful week complete with fulfilled promises, that is what it will be.  On the other hand if I decide it is going to be a week full of disappointment - then that is probably what it will become.

This morning I woke up and began my day with my husband and daughter.  This is a great start to my day/week.  Then I spent time in God's Word - another great start to my day/week.  It is amazing how spending time in God's Word and in prayer in the morning affects my day.  When I take the time to be with God first, He spends the day with me.  I feel His blessings flowing down on me.  That is not to say everything is perfect.  But the challenges I wind up facing don't seem to be completely unsurmountable.

So praying blessings for you today.  How is your Monday/week beginning.  I would love to hear from you.
