Answered Prayer

**This is a short blog post. I promise.**

Have you ever prayed for something, especially if you have been specific and have had that prayer or those prayers answered?

I have. MANY times. Like more than two handfuls of times, at least.

Recently, as in the last couple days, a couple specific prayers have been answered concerning a friend. I LOVE LOVE LOVE answered prayer!

Two things have happened:

1. My faith has been strengthened even more by the awesomeness of Jesus!!

2. My faith has grown by leaps and bounds, even more so by seeing prayers answered.

I am also thankful that today is "Monday". No, it is not really Monday, but to a friend it is. We were suppose to talk Monday morning, but it was thought to be Monday, today, when it is actually Friday. So thank you, my friend, for thinking it was Monday! :)

                        

I'm Thankful For ...

7. Children who make me laugh, even on days when the laughter seems to have left me.

6. For a countdown calendar that seems to have fast forwarded all on its own. I actually LOVE this one!

5. Days to relax.

4. A husband that is a Godly man and WANTS to love me, even during my unlovable moments.

3. Wisdom.

2. Jesus' perfect example of love! His LOVE is aaaaMAZING! Why would anyone want to deny His presence in their life?

1. Gift of being able to cook and bake. One day I'll have a bakers/cooks kitchen (double or triple ovens, BIG countertop spaces, lower cabinets -- because I'm short, walk in pantry ... You get the idea).

Remember, being thankful isn't just for Thanksgiving. What are you going to be thankful for each day of this week? These were some of the things I was thankful for last week. Come back next week and I'll tell you what I'm thankful for this week.
