being thankful

thankful
1 & 2
1. i do not know what i would do without a praying family
2. for friends who love & truly care
~~~~

this being the second day
of november already
got me to thinking
(i know sometimes that is a scary thought!)

but, it reminds me that
this month is a thankful month
we have a holiday for it...
don't get me started on
how we have to actually be
reminded to be 'thankful'

i plan to take each day and
at the top of my post
have something i am thankful for,
the rest of the post might
be something totally random
but, i am going to add a note of thankfulness
at the top!

this post has two at the top,
because yesterday was the first day
and i didn't do it! ;)

i went to town with my girlfriend
yesterday to celebrate her birthday...
oh my, we stopped along the way
for latte's and giant cookies then
drove to a nearby town where we
went shopping then back home to
our mall for more shopping and
lunch at red robin...mmmm

i came home stuffed to the gils
but, also filled with the love
of a dear friend-
who truly loves me

to say i am thankful
is an understatement.

again, i ask for unspoken prayer-
we know that Jesus is our intercessor
and he knows the needs that are on
our hearts today, how wonderful is that?
i am thankful for family and friends who
pray for each other.

Because November is a crazy busy month at school, I am listing my thanks each day as a facebook status instead of committing to post them on my blog.

You are blessed!

We don't celebrate thanksgiving here in Australia but I think it is a great attitude to have, generally.
Your lovely post has got me thinking of things I am thankful for!

I'm thankful so much all of the time at this stage of my life. I spent the first half in quite a different frame of mind entirely. My life changed when I met my husband. Everything began to fit. I'm so thankful for him. X

That time spent with your girlfriend certainly was a blessing. In my prayers, I always say "thank you for the gift of friendship." What a good idea to start off each post this month with something that you are thankful idea. Brilliant idea!
