Thankfulness

Its been two weeks since my last posting of Thankfulness.  Andy took last week off and we accomplished quite a few tasks around the cottage in preparation for colder weather.  I am thankful to have then finished; thankful for the good health to do that work.

I am also thankful for the time spent together, Andy and I, last week.  We worked together some of the time and also spent some time just relaxing over tea together.  It was fun.

There are still lots of leaves left in the trees and I am surprised and pleased that this has been a beautiful fall despite our lack of rainfall in the midwest.  I thank God for the majesty of His creation.

Our study in Genesis this past week has focused on the fourth chapter, story of Cain and Abel, and leaves me so very grateful for God's loving mercy to us sinful people.  Surely we are a blessed people!

I am thankful for extra time spent with Andy over the last week as he took a couple of vacation days that needed to be used by the end of the year.  We took Murphy and went fishing one of the days, hiking the other.  It was fun and relaxing!

As I continue in the study of Genesis, I am very thankful for God's institution of marriage.  Our God's wisdom and provision for us is perfect in every way!

And I am very thankful that His particular provision for me in this regard is Andy!

I am thankful this week for the book of Genesis and my study of it this year.  We are only one week into it, and I have studied Genesis before, but I can never cease to be amazed at the power of God demonstrated in creation.  More than His power is demonstrated though.  He demonstrates His sense of order too and His love for mankind in providing all that was needed before creating him...and her.  I am thankful for the reminder this gives me in my life now that God knows exactly what I need and He will provide it exactly when it is needed.  Why do I ever worry?

I am thankful for the creation of my life and the privilege it is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.

This day I am thankful to be on the tail end of a nasty cold.  My nose, chapped from wiping, is finally healing and I can actually taste my food again.  Yay!

I am thankful too for cooler temps and expected rain this afternoon.  Soup weather!  I love it!

And then there is the joy I am finding in getting to know the women God has given me to lead in our study of Genesis this year.  That's in addition to the study itself!  What a gracious God we have to give us His Word to draw us ever closer to Himself!
