Thankful Thursday

Since it has been a while since I have posted a Thankful Thursday post, and I will be out of the country next Thursday, I thought it was pretty important that I get one in. I really need to get back in the swing of being thankful. It is so very important for keeping my head on straight.

So...today I am thankful for:

• The opportunity to go on a mission trip to Mexico with our youth group. Honestly, there are some parts about the trip that I'm not too thankful for....but I know that it will be a wonderful experience. I am going to try to blog tomorrow about some thoughts running around in my head about that. I need some prayer.....

• For my parents who are coming out of their way to help care for my kids while I am gone. That really helps me be able to leave them for so long. They may need some prayer.....

• That my kids will make some wonderful memories with their Grammy and Papa. That helps me, too.
  

• For my husband who was a huge part of the reason why I decided to go. If he hadn't encouraged me, I probably wouldn't be going.

• For the young man who asked me to go in the first place. That he even wanted me along in the first place means alot.

• For my precious Moms In Touch friends who are praying for me.....for my husband....for my parents....for my kids.
  

Much to be thankful for. I will probably be keeping track of all the things I am thankful for in the coming week. I'm gonna be reporting back, because I think its going to be a good week.
