A few things I'm thankful for on this Thursday ....
** We're almost finished with the flooring upstairs. E's room should be completed soon and she can hopefully sleep in her own room tonight. Glory!
** Sunshine. It's been raining so much here the past 2 weeks (which I know we need), but it's great to see a peak of sunshine this afternoon.
** We finished E's diarama (?) (please tell me you know what that is!). She had to make one on the state of Michigan and it had us (Eric and me) stressed, I tell you. We learned we won't be so great about school projects, but praise God it's finished!
** O's rendition of the story of Mary and Martha. As I type this, she is pacing the living room floor with her bible and for the 42nd time acting out the story. A few highlights ..... while moving her hands in a stirring motion, she talks about Martha busy, busy making bread for Jesus. Then, falls to the ground and talks about Mary listening closely to Jesus with her ears. So cute! (Thank you pre-school SS teachers - she's talked all week about last week's lesson).
** Waking this morning to see my girls hugging one another while still sleeping.
** Gift cards. At the end of our Esther bible study, the ladies gave me a basket of goodies. In it was a gift card to Cracker Barrel (that we used on Sunday) and a gift card to Family Christian. I plan to use it today to buy Matthew Henry's Commentary. I have wanted this for SO LONG and cannot wait to use it.
** The weekend is almost here! We have a busy one planned with our church's Easter Drama each night, but I'm ready to have some help here during the day to get this house back together.
Hope you're having a blessed Thursday!

Great list! And, how sweet are your Bible study girls? Enjoy your new commentary!
Diarama - indeed! Used to love doing them when I was a kid, but no so much when our kids had to and you were up late at night with glue and scissors and everyone was tired and cranky. Oh how I remember the school projects that were left til late the night before when we were scrambling for macaroni and poster boards!
I am going to have to adopt the Thankful Thursday to reflect on the good things that God has so blessed me with. Thanks for the reminder that He is even in the little things!
