Now what kind of guest host would I be if I did not have food! I am glad to have you here, grab some coffee, there is cookies or brownies…or BOTH.
I feel honored that Iris asked me to guest host Thankful Thursday while she is taking a well needed and deserved blog break. So what are you thankful for this week?
He who loves purity of heart,
and whose speech is gracious, will have the king as his friend. Proverbs 22:11
1. Despite my yucky day on Tuesday (which you can read and see pictures here), you guys ROCK in your comments and put a smile on this girl’s face!!
2. I have the best sister in the whole wide world. One of the biggest ways you can bless a Mother is to do something for her child, and that is what my sister did. She came through in a big way for one of my sons, and in return God used her to bless me and knock my socks off. THANKS SIS!
3. I am thankful for friends who can find humor in my bad days because they help me keep perspective of what is going on around me. They are there to remind me it is just a “gnat in my lipgloss” kind of day, not a “this is going to kill you” kind of day.
4. I am thankful my oldest son leaves Saturday for his church mission trip to North Carolina (so are my windows …… just kidding). I pray God moves in his heart in a big way.
5. I am glad that whoever broke into my parents truck only stole Dad’s golf clubs and not the truck itself. Believe me we are heart broken enough just over the golf clubs. Pray by some miracle the cops find them, but I know the chances are unlikely. (Dad the computer cookies are for you too, and computer cookies are fat free!!)
6. I am thankful how blessed I am, I have a roof over my head, clothes on my body, food in my pantry…..I truly am blessed! I pray I don’t take the simple things for granted, for I am blessed I opened my eyes this morning.
What are you thankful for today? Take some food and leave your blog link.
May God richly bless you today!

It is really hard for me to leave a comment on your blog, because I have to be a member on Google. But thank the Lord, just a few minutes to be a member.
just dropping by to say thank you for praying for me and my husband. God bless you.
Oh…You are so blessed to have family that supports you. I wish I had a sister! At least my girls will have each other when they grow up. At least they better support each other like that
Thank you for hosting, and for your humor and warm wonderful list.

Yes, the simple things are the things we ALL Should be thankful for. Thanks for helping to host today!! That was very sweet of you. AND DESSERT!! How special plus NO CALORIES!! That is wonderful too. Sandy
Thanks Laurel for hosing this
I live in NC and would love to know where your son is going on his missions trip (mostly so I can tape my windows — just kidding!).
Glad you didn’t eat your young and survived the broken window. I only have 1 girl so I have a whole different world of troubles from you
May God bless you richly today for being thankful and helping all of us be thankful as well!
Thanks Laurel for the cookies and coffee. I wonder how all those other folks manage to get here before me every week,must all be morning people.
Thanks for your list, we all should be thankful we were given this day.
I love the fact that computer cookies have not fat grams, no calories and no cholestrol! (Esp. since I am now on chol. med.! YUK!)
I love your thankful list! You (and your blog) are a sweet treat in an otherwise hectic day at work!
Be blessed
Thanks for hosting. This is my first week participating! Great idea! Sorry to hear about your window. I have two little boys - I think I have a lot to look forward to!! Yummie goodies - cute idea!
what a beautiful blog!
Have a great day~!

Thanks for hosting thankful Thursday today. I always enjoy reading everyone’s list of thankfuls.

I’m glad to be participating this week! Your lists are almost always among my favorites to read, because you always remind me of even more things to thank God for!
Laurel
This is my first time doing this. I am typically a thankful person for all things I just never say it out loud. Thank you for guest hosting! Enjoyed the brownies. I am now going to the store to buy the fixings so I can actually have a few in the real world!
Susan
That’s a great list! Thanks for hosting!
That picture is just too tempting! Thanks for hosting this week!
They were only “fat free” until I stared at them too long and was overcome with an urge to make some really ooey, gooey, chocolately, yummy ones for me and the boys…
gosh, I sure hope I can still get into that wedding dress! ;o)
Thanks for hosting this week!
How sweet of you to host Thankful Thursday - and serve sweets as well!!
Your list is so precious Laurel. I’m so sorry about your Dad’s golf clubs. Things like that make me rather irate!
I wanted to comment on your last post too. A friend and I were talking the other day (and I have two sons remember) about how 13 seems to be the worst age for boys - and then they begin to get quite human. Believe it or not (and I have one daughter whom I love to death) I think girls are just a teensy bit harder. It’s all that “moody” stuff. With boys - what you see is what you get. Fairly uncomplicated.
So take heart dear one - you’re heading for better days!!
Great list as always, Laurel.
Thanks for hosting today! The treats are yummy!
Hi Laurel-I just posted my TT list at Remain in the Vine and will soon at Every Day is a Blessing. Thank you for the cookies and coffee; you have made me feel very welcome. You are a great hostess.
And, I enjoyed your TT list! I like how you appreciate the simple things. You are blessed! 
YUMMMMMMMMMM….
Love your site.. really love the treats…smile…
Hope your days get better..
May you be blessed
What a great list! Blessings to you today.
Well, I better get the cookies and brownies out next week - hehe…
I am thankful that you are hosting this week

Blessings to you and yours.
PS: Glad that your son has the chance to go on a mission trip
Amen. Beautiful list. I am glad to be a part of such a wonderful bunch that loves to Thank God!
