This is my first time writing a Thankful Thursday list. I have seen them on other blogs and I think it’s a great idea. It’s a wonderful reminder of all the blessings that we have, in good times and in bad. It’s especially good to focus on the positive when you are just in a hormonal funk. Like this week has been for me. I am mostly thankful that this week of PMS is almost over, I am actually looking forward to starting my period! But in an effort to get off that topic (are you cheering out there?), here is my Thankful Thursday list…Home Edition:
1. I am thankful that we have a contract on our house.
2. I am thankful it closes in 4 weeks.
3. I am even more thankful that the buyers are not moving in until Novemember and have offered to let us stay here, RENT FREE, until our new house is ready.
4. I am thankful for the Indiana couple that decided they needed a winter home in Georgia.
5. I am thankful that preschool starts in another week which will give me plenty of time to pack.
6. I am thankful that I had an opportunity to live in this house which is more than I ever dreamed I would have. Even if it was only for 2 short years. And even though we will more than likely never build anything this extravagent ever again.
7. I am thankful that our new house has enough room for all our furniture.
8. I am thankful that the lot we wanted to build on was still available.
9. I am thankful that our new house is only 5 minutes from preschool.
10. I am thankful that my husband is a builder and will provide us just what we need.
***And thank you to Sting My Heart for giving the blogosphere Thankful Thursday!***

What a great bunch of blessings…
Happy packing to you.
Your list has inspired me to go post a thankful list of my own!
You are a blessed woman indeed–and I’m glad this week is almost over for you!
Welcome to thankful thursday, glad you are here. I enjoyed your thankful list.
Great list! I’m so happy about your house situation, we are going through something very similar. We are trying to build a cabin, but the process has been very slow. I guess everything will have to happen in the Lord’s timing, not ours. PTL, I’m very happy for you and hope to see you around.
God Bless,
Amber
This just helps me too to be thankful! Thanks for sharing!
Blessings,

Jodi–it is great to see you here!!! Your list is a blessing—sweet thankful thoughts. (Sorry about the PMS—I no longer suffer from
the “end” result—(surgery a few years back) but still have all the other symptoms! Oh well! Can’t have it all I guess….
So glad that you joined it. Thursday night is such a blessing “reading” and visiting with everyone that posted today!
It is always so comforting to know where you are, where you are going and of course who made it all possible. Congrats on all the good things going on with your houses right now. I tend to think that good things usually happen when you listen to God like you said you had.
Welcome to the thankful Thursday ‘bunch’ – I am glad that you are sharing your thankfulness with us this week.
I think it is so cool that you are able to build your dream home. It is even cooler that it is not far away from preschool…
How neat that your husband is able to build that house for you. At least you can trust the builder :)
Be blessed today and always.
Congrats on the sale. Those are amazing terms. And selling anything in this market is a major accomplishment. Looks like Divine assistance!
