Thankful Thursday

by Lori

Do not grow weary in doing good.
2 Thessalonians 3:13

1. I GOT MY BRACES OFF. I am so excited. I am now the proud owner of a retainer. Still trying to get use to it, but I am happy with my new smile.

2. I praise God that he is in control of everything, and I know I can trust in his leading.

3. I am thankful my parents are having a blast in Durango Colorado. They are enjoying themselves, and enjoying the cool weather.

4. I am so excited that this time next week I will be in Phoenix loving on my niece and visiting family.

5. I praise God that no matter if we mess up big time, the Lord is there to forgive.

I pray you have a wonderful Thursday.

Amen to your last statement, sista :) …I am so glad that He does forgive–over and over. I keep hearing the song “There is a River” by Jars of Clay on the radio–now I can’t get it out of my head…

Looking forward to next week :)

Blessings to your Thursday and always.

How long did you have your braces on for? As a teenager I had mine on for 3 years as my teeth were REALLY bad! It’s so nice to see your white teeth again isn’t it?

Congratulations on your new smile. Wear. Your. Retainer. ;O0 and be sure to keep it away from the dog (if you have one). We lost way too many that way! Enjoy your trip to Phoenix.
