Thankful Thursday

by Lori

A man loves his sweetheart the most, his wife the best, but his mother the longest.
~Irish Proverb


1. I am thankful for laughter. Sometimes life gets to me, and I just need to stop and laugh.

2. I am thankful I had some quality time with my middle son, it does not happen as often as it should. He does not say “I love you’s” easily and he does not seek you out, you have to seek him out even though he likes spending time with you. But last night I got to spend some quality time laughing with my middle son, snuggled up in bed.

3. I am thankful I have a husband who likes to chase my bad clouds away. Sometimes it can drive me crazy because I am in the wrong mood, but he does it to get me out of my funk and for that I am grateful.

4. I am thankful I am getting new carpet tomorrow.

5. I am going to borrow a term from Iris, some of you gals have really “Stung My Heart” I weep when you weep, I worry when things are hitting you hard, and I pray fervently for you when things are not right. Who would have known such relationships could develop over a blog. Thank you Lord that we have others that will go before the throne for us.

Now head on over to Sting My Heart, Iris is our wonderful host.

    Hi Laurel,
    Thanks so much for sharing your list...I am SOOO thankful for laughter, it is truly good medicine for the heart! :) How awesome it is to have a hubby who knows how to make you laugh, what a great quality! And I too am so thankful for bloggy sisters! Have a lovely weekend!

    It sounds corny, but laughter really is the best medicine. If you can laugh, it's impossible to be in a down mood.

    Lovely list, especially the last one, which is so, so true. :-)

    How funny - you and Bev and getting new carpet on the same day!
  • Blessed Assurances

    Your post brought back the conversations I have been having with my middle child ... a 16 yo, 6 foot 3 SON! Your post actually made me cry and I thank you for that ... happy tears!!

    You know, Laurel, although we are not perfect and sometimes we just plain mess up, our families forgive us.
    I love approaching the throne for my sisters in faith. It is a huge privilege!
    God is good - all the time, even through our times of tribulations.

    Thank you so much for sharing your thankfulness with us this week.

    Blessings to you and yours...

    Blessings on your day!

    Encouraging list! It's so wonderful you have such an encouraging hubby.

    A great list to be thankful for. I too love to laugh and my husband usually is up for the humor, which is why we make a good time since I tend to be more serious.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog.

    Wonderful list! Your middle boy sounds like my oldest daughter and I too am thankful for those moments with her when they happen. And #5 is so true, isn't it?

    I love your Thankful Thursdays. I especially like #3. I'm kind of in a funk right now and my hubby always helps bring me out of mine :)
