FOR TODAY


Outside my window the sun is beginning to pop out to what looks like a beautiful day.   Sunny, 70 and cool in Florida is about as good as it gets here.

I am thinking about the people of Japan and the devastation in their country from the terrible earthquake.

I am thankful for a forgiving god, a husband who wants to spend time with me, having kids who call me all the time  and four terrific grandkids who love their Nana.

From the kitchen I think I'll bake a St. Patricks Day treat today.

I am wearing very comfortable gray pjs.

I am creating an Easter Center piece.  It involves two cylinder Vases, gum balls and flowers.  It's super cute and I saw it on a terrific blog here.

I am going to take a drive to the beach this afternoon with my sweetie, hopefully.

I am reading One Thousand Gifts, for a second time. (Awesome)

I am hoping my prayer will be answered about a family members health.

I am hearing my dog and husband (not in that particular order) slowing making the moves of waking up.

Around the house I'm hoping to purge.  My goal is 40 bags in the 40 days of lent.  To purge the clutter of my life so I'm better able to concentrate on my savior.

One of my favorite things is talking to my grandkids.

A few plans for the rest of the week:  Purge, making a St. Patricks day treat for the kiddies in my life, cooking healthier for my family, having a GNO this week, spending time with my grandson on Friday.

Here is picture for thought I am sharing:

Thoughful Thursdays

                         People are ofter unreasonable, illogical and self-centered;
                                                Forgive them anyway.
                                If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish,
                                      ulterior motives; Be kind anyway.
                             If you are successful, you will win some false friends
                                    and some enemines; Succeed  anyway.
                               If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
                                           Be honest and frank anyway.
                                 What you spend years building, someone could
                                        destroy overnight;  Build anyway.
                          If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
                                                   Be happy anyway.
                       The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
                                                    Do good anyway.
                                   Give the world the best you have and it may
                                                      never be enough;
                                     Give the world the best you've got anyway.
                            You see, in the final analysis it is between you and God;
                                  It was never between you and them anyway.
                                                                                           Mother Teresa

Wordless Wednesday

Illinois

                                         Just got back from a visit to see Kelly and the kids. 

                                    I had such a great time loving on two of my grandbabies.

One Thousand Gifts

                          

                        Joining Ann Voskamp for her multitude on mondays
                                                   Hope you'll join

                  

               I just read "One Thousand Gifts" by Ann Voskamp and it  is such an amazing book. 
                                 (I know, I must have been living under a rock).  

 It's inspired me to list my own one thousand gifts,
             all the ways God daily provides

I'm thankful for:
