Thankful Thursday

 

It’s Thursday, and that means it’s time to stop and count my blessings. 

 

I’m thankful for:

  • temperatures returning to more seasonable levels … it’s still plenty warm, but we’re no longer under an extreme heat warning

 

  • getting some one-on-one time with T#4 yesterday afternoon … I love her sweet nature and adorable smile … but it’s getting apparent that she’s getting close to turning 2 … she has no qualms about letting you know exactly how she feels!

 

  • 3 days off in a row … it’s so nice to be able to get a nice, slow start to my days … I enjoy the work I’m doing, the people I work with/for and the supplement to our retirement income, but I’m definitely ready to go back to being retired full time

 

  • nice clean carpets … we rented a carpet cleaner and I cleaned our living room carpet … I was surprised how quickly it dried … I went over the carpet three times to get it good and clean, and it was dry within a couple of hours!

 

  • our sump pump … we haven’t had more than .5 of rain (total) in the last two months, and yet our sump pump still runs periodically … makes me wonder how wet our basement would be during the spring rains!

 

  • God’s grace … I confess that I have to be reminded (more often than I would like to admit) that there’s nothing I can do to earn my salvation … it’s all been done for me

  4. Don't ya just love the "one on one" time with the grands? It is hard to come by sometimes, and soo appreciated by this grandma too when it happens. You may have inspired me to clean our carpets too. It is a wonderful time of year to do it with as fast as the heat makes them dry. Stay cool! HUGS
