I always thank my God as I remember you in my prayers, because I hear about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints. I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ. Your love has given me great joy and encouragement, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the saints. Philemon 1:4-7 (NIV)
There are so many people I could dedicate those verses to. It is one of my favorites.
1. I am thankful the Lord has led people into my life that have refreshed me and got me back on track.
2. I am thankful my niece was ok when she fell and blacked out last weekend. My niece got to visit with all the friendly firemen (hehe). She is doing great now. I am thankful my sister did not go into labor because of it =)
3. I am so thankful I live in this era, I am reading a book that is a journal from someone in the 1880′s and I really don’t think I would have survived. Did you know they did not have A/C?? Oh my goodness =))
4. I am thankful my oldest son is having a great time on the basketball team. My other two sons are kicking booty on the soccer field. And yes basketball and soccer games happen at the same time (just to make my life more interesting). So hubby and I have to divide which parent is where….ah the joys of three boys playing all at the same time.
And the thought for the day:
No matter what you mood is, good/bad/ugly…God is faithful. And he is crazy about you. Have a wonderful Thursday.

Praise God that your niece is ok. Sounds like your sons are great athletes, bless you dear.
I’m thankful I live in this century too even though I used to romanticize the olden days. Now, I imagine myself living without toilets, running water, contact lenses, … etc.
I’m getting the CD so don’t enter me please
I just went to his site and listened to part of his CD since everyone seems to be talking about it, and “Empty and Beautiful” was so amazing. It gave me chills. So in case you aren’t getting the hint…Enter me, please.
I’m blog hopping and have seen his CD mentioned another place within the last bit. Please enter me as well. Kudos to you for managing well the sports and three boys. We have three kiddos, but only two are playing right now. It wears me out!
Please enter me–thank you.
I agree… no matter what mood we are in, God is always faithful.
listened to the music and it was indeed amazing!
Enter me, please.
Wow – soccer and basketball at the same time? Girl – those boys keep you hopping.
I am so glad that your little niece is okay – must have been a scarry moment for your sweet sister.
I listened to Matt’s music this afternoon – awesome!!!! “please enter me”
I, too, am one who has done some thinking and appreciating of living in this era. Just a hundred years ago, there was so much more death. We have wonderful medicines and procedures to keep us alive. Please enter me, too.
Enter me!
Wonderful post, Have a blessed Thankful Thursday!
I too am thankful to have been born when i was born and so thankful for all of the conviences that we have that simplfy life. I am thankful with you that you have three healthy boys that make you have to divide your time, what a blessing. Please enter me in the give away.
Great list!
I am a hopeless romantic, and I love “period” pieces…so sometimes I like to THINK that I could endure life without all our modern “conveniences”…but like I said… a dreamer I am!
Thanks for sharing your thankfulness with us today, and for the giveaway! Have a good one!
Ooooo…enter me
Oh my goodness, soccer and basketball at the same time? Wow, you’re a busy woman!
Laurel,
Blessings to you this Thursday!
I thank God with you for your niece and sister; for people who keep us on track; for a husband to share the parental duties with; and to live in the era of A/C (esp. central air)!
I love the thought you gave for us–God is faithful!! Amen!
BTW–Enter me!

Laurel,
Thankful for finding you here. Peace to you and your household!!
Oh my, a black out fall? Glad to hear all turned out well.
And, please enter me for the CD!
well enter me!!! you don’t have to ask twice!!
hugs and prayers!
Glad your niece is ok.
Please enter me.
Blessings to you today!
Oh how wonderful that everything was fine with your niece!
And yeah, I’m glad that I live in the here and now, although the no AC thing wouldn’t bother me. The lack of indoor plumbing, however, would! Just think of what others who are living in 2108 will say about living in this time…
Oh my, I so understand the kids plus different sports = mom and dad play tage team deal.
We have four kids doing four different sports. It is a juggling act.
I have never heard of this CD but it sounds great. Count me in!
Julie
LOL — I’m not sure I would’ve fared so well without the A/C either. We are all so blessed that God is always faithful! I love the having the knowledge that no matter where I am or how feel or what I’m doing — God is always there. He meets us wherever we are!
Have a blessed week!
Such a nice list of things to be thankful for, Laurel. And let me tell you, I totally agree about the a/c. We’d never survive out here in western Colorado without it. I can’t imagine living where you do without a/c either. Of course, you could always just go jump into the ocean. Sigh.
Thanks… and enter me.
But, mostly thank you for sharing your love for the Savior through your thankful heart. And, yes, very good your sister did not go into labor. OH MY!!
Blessings, Kim
So glad you neice is OK after that fall…
