Thankful Thursday #1

I have at least 3 blogger friends who are currently doing a series of posts in which they list things in their lives that they are thanking God for. I don't want to seem like a copy cat here, but I have truly been inspired by these ladies to do the same. They usually do theirs on Mondays, but I have decided to do mine each Thursday. Each time I read their lists, I am convicted that I am not more thankful to my good God for all that He has given to and done for me. So this is my attempt to be thankful...not just for God's general kindness to me, but specific blessings.

Thanking God for:
  1. The snow that is falling outside my widow as I type.
  2. My beautiful baby girl...
  3. And the way she just falls asleep when I put her down for a nap
  4. And her adorable little smiles :)
  5. Grace to begin (and stay on track with) a chronological Bible reading plan
  6. Grace to search out and see Jesus in the book of Job
  7. The amazing way He is providing the finances to pay medical bills from Ruth Anne's birth
  8. A husband who loves to play with his daughter
  9. The way He continues to grow our marriage
  10. This 2nd cup of coffee :)
  11. Jesus Christ, "in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace..." (Ephesians 1:7)

Ashley,

If one is gonna be a "copy cat", this is a great practice to copy!
I especially rejoice because of no.11 :)
