A Thankful Sunday Seven

Seven some things that I am thankful for this first Sunday of March.

1. I am thankful for a large extended family. My Mother was the middle child of 13. As of today there are 2 left of the 13. I have over 100 cousins and most of them have an average of 4 children.
2. I am thankful for the sun that is shining today. The temperature here in my part of Indiana is 47. Feels like Spring.
3. I am thankful for a Christian Husband.
4. I am thankful for good health. In fact, right now is the best I have felt in 12 years.
5. I am thankful for 2 Christian daughters and a Christian son-in-law who are doing what they want to do with their lives.
6. I am thankful God loves me and forgives me when I make mistakes.
7. I am thankful I have met the most amazing women who make comments to what I have to say and I have the permission to add them to the list of individuals I visit on a regular basis.

Hi Joyce,

I enjoyed reading your "thankful" list for today.

I hope you can visit my blog as I posted my "grateful" list for today.

Oh, there was a message on your blog - a warning message. I guess it was put on there by blogger, but it said something to this effect: Some may find this blog offensive or something like that and then had too blocks to choose from: to continue or not to continue.

Didn't know if you had seen that message or not.

Have a good week.

Good Afternoon Joyce,
I have just finished eating a Turkey Sandwich and am doing some more visiting. I had taken a nap earlier since I woke up at 2:30a.m. this morning. I enjoyed reading your "THANKFUL" list today. We all have so many things to be "THANKFUL" for each and everyday. I'm glad you had some nice weather there today. It is 73 degrees here right now. There are some clouds moving in tho. I had the same thing happen to me as Betty did. It said something like this: Some may find this blog offensive and then you had to choose if you wanted to continue or not. I hope you have reset your settings or something since I had told you about the SPAM in your earlier post. I will miss blogging as well, but just as soon as I'm hooked back up, I will start posting and visiting again. I'm not sure what day will be my last day to post for a few days just yet. I am going to do a post in the morning tho. I have to have the Utilities transferred and I don't know what day that will be, and then I have to find someone to move us since my DH is out working. I will try to post each day that I still have it here and visit. Take care my friend and have a great evening. May God Bless You and Yours.

Love & Hugs,
Karen H.

Joyce,

Choice "settings" on your blog. Then click on "comments" and go down to where it says word verification. Choose "yes" and go to the bottom and click on save settings.

I think that is what you meant you needed help with when you left a comment on my blog

Hope this helps.

Hi Joyce I enjoyed reading what you are thankful for. It is amazing when we take the time to write them down how easy they all come! Have a grand day!

Thanks for your visits to Small Reflections and the link back here. I enjoy meeting new bloggers and I love ‘gratitude’ lists. I leave them often myself … in fact Sunday’s post at Sacred Ruminations (my other blog) was one now that I stop to think. A large family is a blessing indeed and so are all the other things you’ve shared here. I enjoyed your Saturday post immensely and appreciate the chuckles. Laughter is good medicine!
Hugs and blessings,

Joyce, I am glad to have found your blog. And I thought I was from a large family!! You've got us beat! You had a good list of blessings to be grateful for this week. BTW, I love the name of your blog.

Name

What Joyce Means
You are fair, honest, and logical. You are a natural leader, and people respect you. You never give up, and you will succeed... even if it takes you a hundred tries. You are rational enough to see every part of a problem. You are great at giving other people advice. You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life. You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you. At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself. You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in. You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising. You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care. You are very open. You communicate well, and you connect with other people easily. You are a naturally creative person. Ideas just flow from your mind. A true chameleon, you are many things at different points in your life. You are very adaptable. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.

Heart

Your Heart is Red and Green
Your heart is serene and peaceful.
You are down to earth, laid back, and secure in who you are.
You bring strength and sanity to relationships.
You're good at communicating and working through problems.
