Thankful Thursday

I can't wait for Thursday and to take part in Sonya's Thankful Thursday. There is still plenty of time to join so stop by her blog Truth for the Journey. You just never know who you will meet and just how blessed you will be!

Here are the 5 things I am thankful for this week:

1. That God remains faithful everyday. I can always count on Him. People will always fall short on their promises, expectations and intentions, but not God. He will always, always be there for you.

2. My hubby is working from home for the most part. He is shifting his schedule somewhat but I know the deep down desire inside of himself, to perform well on his job is digging at him, even though he will never admit it.

3. Cait, my oldest daughter, made it safely to Rhode Island after a very long flight with three stop overs. It took her a grand total of 12 hours to arrive. Poor kid, she really hated to fly this trip. She said it will be her last. She still has to fly home, so I think that will be her official last one. Thanks for all who prayed for her.

4. School is almost over. I can see the finish line and my obligations to the kids will be over until August. The great thing is that I get to see the results of all their hard work. My daughters friend Samm stopped by yesterday to tell me that the help I gave her on her History class paid off, and she aced her final with an A and a 100%. Now tell me if that doesn't make you proud. Kids need help!

5. Rain came yesterday in the form of some very powerful thunderstorms, that quite literally, shook our entire house, set off car alarms and made most of the kids, really scared. Poor cats, we didn't see them for most of the day. I loved watching all the hail and rain fall because we haven't seen any rain for months. Living in the desert, we used to get thunderstorms late in the afternoon, but not for some years, until yesterday. What a nice surprise! Thanks God!
