Thankful Thankful Thursday

Last Thursday, I wrote a Thankful Thursday post ... at the time it was my intention to try to do a Thankful Thursday post every Thursday ... but then I decided to do a thankful post every day this month as I get my focus on thanksgiving (and Thanksgiving).  So I guess today's post with be a thankful Thankful Thursday post?  ha!





Today I'm thankful for my Ts ... since they were here for the day yesterday, my focus is on them.  I thank God for my grands every day.


  • they help keep me young ... nothing touches my heart like hearing that they love that I will play with them ... how could I say "no" when they come up to me with those plaintive little voices and pleading eyes and ask "Nana, will you play with me?" 
  • they provide me the opportunity for a "do-over" ... a chance to "make up" for all the things that I wish I had done different with DD
  • they expand my heart ... I was worried, when DD was pregnant with T#2, if I would be able to love her as much as I did T#1 (remember, I had only one child ... so I didn't have to share the love when she was growing up)
  • they provide motivation for my prayer times ... when there are times when it seems like there just isn't time to pray, I remember that I must be praying for the Ts ... and voila! I'm assured of having my prayer time
  • they teach me how to love unconditionally
  • they teach me patience (oh, how they teach me patience! ha!)


They are truly one of God's greatest gifts to me ... and they have a large piece of my heart.  I :x them TOO MUCH!

What are you thankful for today?

  1. I started with the Thankful Thursday today at my blog and started with my Best Ever Gift - God! Because if him I have been blessed with much including grand children. Like you I love them all very much and I'm excited that grand baby #4 will be here in February. Don't you just melt when one opf the little ones say "Hi" from the floor? I also do get a bit of sweet revenge when my daughter tell me "She goes down for her nap a lot better for you than she does for me - teach me that trick." It makes me feel still needed by my daughter.
