O0h how I love Thankful Thursdays. I can sit and read some of the Thankful posts and just cry for the Goodness of the Lord just consumes me. Today has been one of those days! As I sit in the quiet and see outside of my window the beautiful colors of Fall and the precious Deer that are grazing along through my backyard and the squirrels attempting to eat the seed from the beautiful and oh so colorful variation of birds ~ I am just amazed at my FAther.
Today we are encouraged to share the things that make us go hmmmm. I'll be honest ~ that would be a post for my Husband because he is a deep thinker as all melancholies are. They look at something like The Grand Canyon and say hmmm, How did the Lord do this. Or how about when the Lord was a pillar of Cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night (Ex 13:21) that seriously makes me go hmmmm. What about manna falling from the sky ~ isn't that awesome! but really don't you just wanna say hmmm to that?? I could go on and on !!! We serve a MIGHT GOD who is STILL IN THE "HMMM" er I mean MIRACLE making business today!! I am so thankful to have a relationship with HIM, to know HIM, to share my heart with HIM, to lay my burdens at HIS feet, to see HIS Goodness and His amazing work that makes us go HMMMM.
I would encourage you today to spend some time quieting your mind, your heart and allow HIM to speak to you. Remind yourself of the amazing things He IS, or has done. For you or in HIS Word! I promise you will be Moved, Encouraged, and mostly you will be Thankful
Go visit Lynn and you will see some pretty awesome and thankful posts here

Thinking of you, and asking God to pour out sweet blessings upon you.
Loren,
What a wonderful way to begin each day. Thanking God just for the beautiful creation we awake to each morning and see new things each day if we were only to look hard enough.
I am thankful for you coming into my wonderful life. You have enriched it beyond measure.
Love and Hugs ~ Kat
HMMMM....... Now I am really in deep thought! :)
Deep thought usually does make us more grateful!
Maybe that is the problem with most people these days---that they don't take the time to think and ponder Truth!--- I think it is!!! They are lazy thinkers! They have "fat baby" mentalities. "Keep the good things coming as I lay here and drink it all in." Together, we have solved this generations problems. :)
This post should make us all say HMMM!
God is so amazing!!
Have a great day, Loren!
I love to sit back and see all of His amazing works...they are all around us! Hugs,
Mimi
I'm thankful for sweet bloggy friends who drop by, leave me comments, and make me smile!
I'm also thankful for the bright blue sky that we have at this very moment after the much needed RAINSTORM that brought us 3 1/2 inches of rain last night. Woo hoo!
I am thankful for you and many other bloggy friends who gracefully remind me to slow down and quiet my weary soul.
Thank you, sweet one! Take care of yourself!
Blessings, andrea
Oh thank you Loren for that post today, so uplifting...and makes me think of all the amazing things that are "hmmm's" to me...sunset, waves crashing the shore, thunder and lightening, gentle spring rain, billions of stars in a dark moonless sky...wow...
Yes, God is good...all the time...Your thankful heart makes me reflect on His everlasting kindness. Take care of yourself sister and have a blessed rest of the week! Love to you.
What a sweet family. It sounds like have a wonderful life together with God at the center. Foolproof formula for a happy, worthwhile life.
Being Thankful always puts a smile on my face.
