Good Morning to you Mrs.Prairie,
Thank you for this thought that now will be w/ me today as I listen to "Great is thy Faithfulness"! What a blessing your blog has been. I am thankful to have "come across it" while reading another! (God's work!) (smile) I also, was blessed and challenged to remember...our happiness is a choice! We yes, can choose to grump & moan at the not so sunny aspect of our daily life/ surroundings...however we can choose to be "thankful" for the "What it is" & "Not what it isn't"! I am always so to speak...cheered up by your writtings, and it causes me to re-think "MY" attitudes many times. I can tell by the ages of children, I am some older than you & I remember having 5 sweet ones at those similar ages and no everyday is not a fairytail, so I know it is OUR CHOICE! So, I am glad for God's using your words to snap me to reality...I am coming up from a lil'visit to a valley...and praise HIM for the lessons if you will-today! Have a great day, God bless you & yours and hey, when do you sleep? (smile) You are always on the go! because of Him,

Happy TT!
I am thankful for my sweet babe that woke me at 5:00am this morning,thankful that even though I didn't get much rest I still feel rested Thank you heavenly Father! I am thankful today for my sweet hour of prayer and that one day it shall cease and I shall shout while passing through the air farewell sweet hour of prayer. I am thankful that I can bring my heavy heart to the Lord this morning. Thanking him for yet another day of precious life with my husband my three children and my family! For not today but tomorrow my dear beloved childhood friend must bury her 7 year old son victim of an awful car wreck, while her and her other child are still in intensive care at the hospital and will not be able to attend her precious babies funeral. I am thankful that even in times of mourning I can say THANK YOU heavenly Father for children and the joy they bring THANK YOU for the privilege of being called a mother and THANK YOU for another day that I am allowed to spend with mine. Thank you for my time with them thank you for allowing me to have and hold them today. THank you for my youngest who is staring up at me while I type this holding her baby. Thank you for my oldest that is sound asleep in her bed looking like a angel. THank you for my middle one and only son who is also fast alseep in his bed, with his arms and legs stretched out like his father. THANK YOU for in all things I am blessed beyond all measure, but most of all I am blessed because HE(God) is mine and I am his!
please keep my friend in your prayers today.

Great post. We have so much to be thankful for. Thanks for sharing!
Momma of 8, I am glad that you are blessed here, I am blessed here as well, and your comments are part of that blessing, thank you!
Joy, your name is so fitting, you exude joy, even in the midst of trials. I litterly got a shiver of delight when I read your words about passing through the air and the farewell to the hour of prayer, and then a cold chill when I read about your friend and her suffering and loss. Oh Lord, only You can comfort and give strength in times like these, we lift this woman up to You and pray that You would carry and sustain her and be her Life. I just love having you here Joy, and am thankful to be able to share in your joys and trials.
