Grateful/Thankful Thursday – oh so much to be thankful for!!

Linny Saunders22 Comments

Today I’m grateful for the promises of God – – – – God ALWAYS keeps His promises!! Always! I’m grateful that we could take our big married/almost married kids to dinner Tuesday night. We asked them where they wanted to go and Tyler kept saying, “Subw*y!” He then said that he was going to pout the whole night if we didn’t go to Subw*y. Here’s his pouty face…..After we promised him a pony ride and a face-painting….he cheered up!!

I’m grateful that this little guy is keeping me running….which ultimately means more calories burned…not a bad thing post-menopausal!!

I’m grateful/thankful for Autumn and Polly (as in Pocket) – my grandpet……her breed aren’t necessarily known for loving kids, but little Miss Polly is a hoot….she lets Elizabeth carry her all around….and Polly likes getting dressed up in fashionable outfits….. I’m grateful/thankful for nailpolish……
I’m grateful/thankful for this color!! Emma’s toes look so sweet!

I’m grateful/thankful for the horse ride that we found for only $.01 (yes, you read that right – it was only ONE PENNY!) the other day on our way home from Greeley…..we had no clue such a thing even existed anymore!! I just hope the government doesn’t get ahold of that one too!

I’m grateful that strawberries are growing in a little patch here at the rental……they are producing good results!!


I’m forever grateful for this precious treasure, spared at the last minute by Almighty God……..

What are YOU grateful/thankful for this Grateful/Thankful Thursday?????????????

  1. Wow – you have sure had a busy week! I know it is so fun to have all your family together getting ready for the wedding. Could not be happier for Tyler and Sarah. Enjoy all these wonderful moments. I will be praying about the drive to Iowa and the surgery. Blessings friend.

  7. I'm so grateful we still live in a nation that is "under God". My prayer is this won't be taken away from us. Ohilda at a bouquet of Blessings just posted this link. I hope every person reading this will take just a few moments and listen to it. It is the most powerful I've ever seen.

  11. My hubby is wondering if he could keep up with another 3 y.o. boy and I told him he is not as old as DW yet and he is doing fine. I will show him your pictures,not the one with the oil on the floor though.

  12. I'm thankful for your thankful Thrusdays. They always make me smile, and pause to be thankful for things I would never think of, like nail polish and road signs. Thank you for being so darn stinkin' adorable… and thank you for your beautiful BIG Ol' Honkin family that just makes my heart smile BIG!!

    love you sister!
    🙂

  13. Linny,

    We are thankful for the skilled surgeon who just operated on our little boy's beautiful face to help him grow and give him a hope and a future.

    We are also thankful for attending the Philip Hayden reunion this past weekend and meeting Tim and Pam B*ker, getting to give them a hug personally for taking such good care of our precious Philip.

    Love in Christ,
    Janet and Kevin

I am grateful for a great summer staff that care about others so much they serve with God's heart! I am grateful to live in a country that we still have freedoms!!!!!!

  15. I love this grateful/thankful thursday list!

    looks like having all your kids home is lots of fun! i'm 16, and have 3 older sisters, 2 little adopted brothers, and two little (2 and 4 yrs old) foster sisters-it makes for quite a busy/crazy/chaotic house when everyone is home. but its SO much fun!! lots of memories are always made!

    enjoy your weekend and the wedding!!

  16. I am thankful to have found your blog and the opportunity to see inside your life. I am VERY thankful for adoption as I would not be a Mama without it. And I can't imagine not being Mama to THEM. Blessings for the next coming days.
