Thankful Thursday

by Lori

1. Ok Ok I am crying UNCLE… I have had the blessing to be given several awards that I have not publicly thanked the wonderful people who gave them to me. The last straw was that I got this award from Cynthia at Beneath the Ivy Wreath and to be honest I don’t feel like I have been very nice because I have not said anything about the awards. I am not very good at bringing attention to myself and admitting I got a certain award, I know, I know. Thank you Cynthia it means a lot that you thought of me. (ok where did my picture go?? sometimes I see it sometimes I dont anyways it was the “Nice Matters” Award)

2. Even before the award Cynthia gave me I was given this award

See I am not nice or thoughtful. But for some reason Barbara at Stray Thoughts thought so and so did Janeen at Our Story. You three bless this little heart and put an extra step in my day. Thank you very much!!

3. I am thankful that I am not traveling to the football games this Saturday, I am staying behind with my son who has the staples.

4. I am thankful for friends who listen to my whine and cry and pout and still talk to me =)

5. I am excited to be hosting a birthday party for my middle son on Sunday.

6. This has been a difficult week for me personally and I am thankful God has made himself evident to me, reminding me of his love.

Have a great Thursday.

Some reminders:

1. Laced With Grace has a new ulr, the old one will stop directing you to the new one this week. So please change your ulr to http://lacedwithgrace.com/

    Laurel, you are so very deserving of the award. Congratulations! I am sorry you've had such a trying week, maybe the weekend will go much more smoothly!
  • Barb @ A Chelsea Morning
    Yeah! What Kelli said!

    "My son with the staples" just sounds awful, doesn't it? Poor guy.

    You deserve these awards and you should never hesitate to tell us about them. You ARE nice and we all know it. :-)

    Congrats on the awards. I hope the son with the staples heals well and is up and about in no time.
  • Terri @ In His Hands
    You are SO deserving of that award and many others. I am thankful I got to speak to you on the phone! I giggled all day at you calling our kitchen the "racetrack kitchen!" That is SO funny to me. It does look like a racetrack kitchen.


    Thanks for all your advice on the adoption--your niece is such a cutie!
    Love you~
