Carrie's Busy Nothings: Thankful For :: 581

Thankful For :: 581 - 590

Get through today and then we have the week-end. Have I mentioned how much I love week-ends and look forward to them? Well, just so you know, I do. This week is no exception, although it looks like Peter may have to spend some time at work on Saturday, but at least the alarm won't be going off quite as early.

Since I've been so wordy in my posts of late, I'm going to skip the chit-chat and get straight to the nitty-gritty today. Thanks for sticking with me through all those longer posts, and thanks to all for your kind comments (they seriously make my day).

This week I'm thankful for...

581. YOU! My blogging friends! I gained two followers in the last week and that's cause for me to {happy dance}

582. Pots of tea (and new tea pots!)

583. Answers to prayer

584. Surviving and thriving on Tuesday

585. Encouragement from unexpected places (and people)

586. Feeling myself opening to new ideas

587. Trying out new recipes and being glad that there are leftovers

588. Absolutely beautiful autumn days

589. "Blessed Be Your Name" as sung by the Newsboys with Rebecca St. James

590. Pumpkins and mums - you knew that would make the list, right?

C.S. Lewis once said, “You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream." Dream BIG. After going "there and back again," The Hubs & I have created a home that is full of books, stimulating conversation, and the laughter of our five kids. We have been the recipients of Amazing Grace, and our life goals can be summed up in four words: Love God, love people.

FRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDAY!!
Yippee. Even though I work on Saturdays, I too love them because the hubby tends to be around.

Glad you made it through the week with a smile on your face. Congrats on the new followers, lady.

By the way, I remember being in the back of peters old green car and listening to that song by newsboys and Rebecca st James. I told you both that was a great song and a better version than others I had heard. You all disagreed with me at the time. Now you know the error of your ways! Ha! Ha!

I pretty new to the blogging although my profile says 2009....I really didn't jump in until late August of this year and I have to say you are inspiring to get the camera out and include it more in my blogs. You are so creative and it shows. God Bless

Molly - I'm glad I made it through the week too! :-) Bummer that you have to work on Saturday though. :-(

Sophie - God IS good!

Seestor - I vaguely remember that, but we've liked this version for a long time now. In fact, it's the one that we used for our presentation video when we came back from Botswana/Zambia in 2006. Good stuff! :-)

Irish - you're making me blush, but thanks. Always nice to hear that someone enjoys the blog (and the photos).
