Around Our Sunday Table: Golden Greens

 

 

Thou hast given so much to me,
Give one thing more, - a grateful heart;
Not thankful when it pleaseth me,
As if Thy blessings had spare days,
But such a heart whose pulse may be Thy praise.
~George Herbert~

 

 

Another week has flown by

and as we gather around our Sunday table

it is time for us to stop and reflect

on the many things we have to be thankful for this week.

 

This week I was able to spend some quality time with my son.

It is harder now that he is grown

which makes the time all that much more special

 

I am thankful for my in-laws 50th Wedding Anniversary Celebration.

It was great to visit with extended family

but also to celebrate 50 years of marriage.

What a heritage they are passing down to their family.

 

I had a wonderful Skype time with my daughter this week,

catching up on all the news.

 

I am thankful for the good weather we have had this past week

which allowed us to finish the outside Christmas décor.

 

I am thankful for the Christmas lights on display as I drive around our neighborhood.

They bring me such joy!

 

What are you thankful for this week?

It is time for me to pause once again

and take time to give thanks.

Not just at Thanksgiving

but throughout the year.

 

Number one on my list for this week

is that hubby's blood work came back clear. 

 

 

It seems that the cost of living keeps going up

but as one bill has gone up

another one has gone down!

For that I am thankful as it keeps our budget even.

 

I am thankful for Off buttons.

 There is a time for TV, radios, music, etc

but I have learned to appreciate the sounds of the world around me,

the birds singing, the wind blowing through the trees, the dog snoring.

  Silence allows me to think, to dream, to imagine, to pray.

I am thankful I can turn off the artificial noise around me.

 

 

I am thankful for the good weather we have had this week.

It was nice to be able to be outside and enjoy the sun

before winter returns.

 

I am thankful for the relationship I have with my mother.

It has gone through some rocky times

but we are at a good place now

and it is nice.

 

What are you thankful for this week?

As we gather around our family table this week,

hubby, son and myself,

there are so many things to be thankful for.

 

 

Hubby's cousin who was in the area of the Phillipines

that was hit by the typhoon has finally been heard from and is fine.

 

 

Our daughter received a bursary this year.

All her hard work is paying off!

 

 

Our daughter's internship interview went very well

and they are proceeding with the paperwork

to make it official!

 

 

That I didn't have to go out anywhere

on the really cold days this week.

 

That my son's business is doing well

and he will be adding another full time staff member.

 

Family celebrations.

This month's celebrations include:-

My parent's 45th Wedding Anniversary

My dad's 69th Birthday

and my in-laws 50th Wedding Anniversary.

Another snow storm and once again family members travelling.

I am thankful once again for safe travel.

 

A hubby who notices and takes care of the little things.

He noticed that outside back door wasn't sealing 100%

and got busy and fixed it right away.
 

 

 

I am thankful for quiet days working around the home.

 

I am thankful we were able to find a trustworthy mechanic
that our daughter could take her car to.

 

 

I am thankful that the mechanic was able to find the problem

and fix it and that the bill wasn't too high.

 

I am thankful hubby was called in to work.

The unexpected overtime pay will cover the car repair cost.

God provided before we even knew our need.

 

 What are you thankful for this week?

It is literally true, as the thankless say, that they have nothing to be thankful for.  He who sits by the fire, thankless for the fire, is just as if he had no fire.  Nothing is possessed save in appreciation, of which thankfulness is the indispensable ingredient.  But a thankful heart hath a continual feast.  ~W.J. Cameron

 

As we gather around our Sunday table there are so many

things to be thankful for this week.

 

Despite the winter storm that blew in

our power stayed on and family members that

had to travel stayed safe.

 

That hubby is diligent about getting doctor check-ups.

 

That my mom & I had such a great time

on our "Girls Day Out".

 

That I was able to share what I have

with others this week.

 

For our cozy home.
