Thanks

It's Thursday, so it must be Thankful Thursday!

• Thank you for the fan at my feet that is keeping me cool (it's not even that hot outside, so I should probably check my temperature when I get home tonight!)



• Thank you for the lovely weekend that I had with my parents last weekend



• Thank you for two laptops that arrived from the IT dept for my lending laptop project - I have learnt patience in this matter, I will learn the skill of even more patience as I await the other six!



• Thank you for subtitles as I can understand the news that is playing on the wall at work (with the sound off - I bet I get more than other people do - ha ha!)



• Thank you for the friendship of Edie as she helps me try to understand the Bible a little better!



• and finally, Thank you Lord for keeping me out of trouble on the motorway last week

Thankful Thursday

A great little blog has a Thankful Thursday meme every....well....Thursday!! Just click on the pretty photo above to find out what it's all about. There are quite a few blogs taking part in this, there are 75 links posted today for you all to rummage through when you have a moment!

I could certainly do with being reminded to be thankful every now and then as I moan and groan and grumble and mumble about this and that and of nothing of consequence and need to remember to be thankful for what I do have!

• I am thankful that despite my hearing loss I can still crank up Madonna in the car and bop down the road!
  
  
• I am thankful that I am still (and always will be) close to my parents and am looking forward to spending a week on a narrow boat with them and my youngest brother.
  
  
• I am thankful that Phoebe cat eventually came home last, yowling for her food!
  
  
• I am thankful that I finally have someone coming to look at the leaky gutter, and am thankful that we do indeed have water to wash and clean and drink and bring the garden to life.
  
  
• I am thankful that I am exploring my faith and beginning to understand just what a great thing Jesus did for me.
  
  
• and finally....I am thankful that I didn't actually go to work in my slippers this morning even if I did step out of the house with them on!! ;-)
