"Thankful Heart"

Thankful Heart by Petra on Grooveshark

I had a super great song picked out for today, but then I decided it'd be perfect for the last one in this series. Let me just say that I started the draft of that post & tears came to my eyes. The song is that good! But you'll have to wait a couple of weeks for it...today you get old school Petra. Alrighty, I'm thankful for...
  1. Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs {especially when they're 50% off after Easter!}
  2. Mosquito repellant
  3. An impromptu VBS craft brainstorming session with my friend Susan {who is using the same material as we are for a different mission trip}
  4. Fun new knitting projects
  5. Dad finally closing on the sale of his house {apparently finance companies are dragging their heels these days, because they really don't want to loan people money at these low interest rates}
  6. Celebrating Amy's birthday with her & Kyla
  7. Finally getting to see October Baby
  8. The freedom to be silly with my friends {John Schneider was in the movie, which got us to talking about our childhood celebrity crushes. We were like teenagers at a sleepover, looking up pictures of dreamy celebrities on Amy's phone...Mark Harmon in this picture. Be still, my beating heart!}
  9. Surviving a crazy busy week
  10. Stone for our front yard {finally!}
  11. Christopher taking care of dinner while I made a few desserts
  12. Baking for the student ministry auction with my baby girl ♥
  13. My pharmacist friend who doesn't mind answering texts early on a Sunday morning {you may recall one of my Excedrin Migraine posts where I rambled on about the ingredients & such in several of their products...another strange fact: one bottle says 2 max per day while another bottle says 8. Same exact ingredients. Go figure!}
  14. Loads of baked goods donated by some great cooks in our church
  15. An apron to keep my clothes clean {though apparently it was a little misleading when I wore one at the auction yesterday. I had splattered water all down the front of myself while working in the kitchen, so Teresa tied it on me before I spilled something that might stain. Some people thought I looked official, therefore they asked questions for which I had no answer. Nope, I was wearing it because I'm a mess, not responsible!}
  16. Church members who gave generously toward the fundraiser
  17. A few leftover party balls for us to enjoy :)
  18. Thermometers {crazy little fact: our thermometer broke awhile back, and I hadn't replaced it yet. Apparently God knew that I would need one, because Toni gave me one out of the blue at our meeting on Thursday night. I needed it for Cody only a few nights later ~ my poor baby had a fever of 103.2}
  19. A desperately needed good night's sleep
  20. A break from the rain just long enough to run to the store & back
  21. Laughter coming from my sickly boy upstairs
  22. A sweet thank you card from a dear friend {even if it was way overdue! I kid, I kid ~ it never crossed my mind that one was "owed" to me!}
  23. An email from Marcie that mentioned hazing?! {thanks for making me laugh!}
  24. Doctor's offices that will see my baby boy without an appointment {if you can believe this, we left the house, went to the doctor, & got back home within an hour!}
  25. Peace of mind from finding out that my sweet boy doesn't have the flu or strep...just a virus {totally worth the $20!}

What's on your list today?

Amy

Oh my goodness! I can't believe you are that close to the end. Can't wait to hear the song and nothin' wrong with a little Petra throw back either.

Birthday dinner was great fun, the movie was good but sad, and yes, John Schneider used to be better looking, but Mark Harmon still takes the cake. I had so much fun and I'm thankful that I get to be a part of your "Thankful" list. I am thankful for YOU and your SWEET family!

someone else taking care of dinner always makes me thankful!
