I really don’t know where to start…and I KNOW you don’t have all day (or night–depending when you are reading this), but I have so much to be thankful for!
Iris is right on target about JOY! That is the first one! JOY is from within! The heart of every believer is filled with the joy of our salvation! Praises flood our hearts and fill the silence!
I am thankful that when I have such a bummer of a day (we all have them) that I can call on sisters of like faith to join in prayer with me and for me! (Thank you!!)
I am thankful for new and good books to read (bought an extra just to giveaway–see below this post)!
I am thankful for a sweet visit with an awesome sister! Lisa Shaw came for the weekend and we had a wonderful time in the LORD! (I don’t know why that picture turned out so small…but we look mighty little don’t we girlfriend!) Lisa has more pictures on her site and so does Susan!
I am thankful for my sweet darlin’ man–who just surprised the daylights out of me (ever had that happen to you?) with some beautiful flowers and it really made my bad-bummer day go away!
I am thankful for HIS WORD! Iris shared this verse: “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.”~ Romans 15:13 (ESV)
By the way, one BIG thankful I NEED to mention…the bio-natural hormone replacement therapy is working…(except this week—and the stress of life –was more at fault than hormones).
God is so good. All the time. I have more thankfulness, but I better stop right here…I feel the tears starting up.

I loved reading about your get together with Lisa and Susan. According to Lisa, you were such a wonderful hostess.
I love this topic of joy. In this world we will have troubles but He has overcome. And we know the end of the story. We are on the winning side. That gives me a leap of joy in my heart.
I love getting to know you Angie.

Great list Angie. I'm so glad you've found something that works for you (natural hrt).
Flowers are such a delight.
That's one of my memory verses for this year. How it has ministered to me.
