Thankful Thursday

Bless the LORD, O my soul:

and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

Bless the LORD, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits:

Who forgiveth all thine iniquities;
who healeth all thy diseases;

Who redeemeth thy life from destruction;
who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things;
so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.

Psalm 103:1-5

His benefits to me have been numerous this past year.
Here are three highlights:

~ I was able to stay home with my little darlings once again.
~ I made a new, dear friend.
~ My older son became my brother in Christ.

Thank You, gracious Father in heaven: my cup overflows.
