Thankful Thursday
Filed Under (Thankful Thursday) by snippets

Thankful Thursday

It is one of my favorite days of the week again … thankful Thursday!
These past few days has been kind of hectic for me and my family; the passing of my FIL (I honestly still can’t imagine him being gone …), the “settling down” (just a bit, since preparations are already on the way for the 40days [after death] novena), my hubby being away for almost a week because of his job, the house sprouting out a leak (eeek! :shock: ), and to top it all, my son’s exam was rescheduled for this week because of the typhoon!

BUT HEY! This is supposed to be a Thankful Thursday, not the opposite. :wink:

So here is my short - but sweet (i hope! lol) - list:

  • I thank the Lord for giving me the strength (emotionally) to deal with a family’s passing.
  • That my son, even if we didn’t get to review his lessons over the weekend, was confident enough to take his exam; I did get to review him a day before, and he answered my questions -all of them- correctly! :razz:
  • I am thankful that hubby, even if he is the youngest in his family, is taking some of the responsibilities that my FIL had; and even if sometimes it seems overwhelmingly difficult for him (because he is busy with his job), he still does his best. One time, he even said,” I felt like I had to mature overnight!” … All i could do was just hug him.
  • …. and lastly, I am thankful that in spite of all the things happening, our family is still together; made stronger by what we just went through. I know we will grow stronger, with God’s long-lasting blessings …

I’m so sorry for your loss, I can’t imagine my father in law passing away, I can only pray that he comes to know the Lord before it happens…*hugs*

I am so sorry for your loss. We lost my FIL over one year ago and it is a very difficult thing to walk through. May God bless you and your husband (and family) as you walk through this valley. I pray you are comforted. Blessings.

I am so glad that your family is holding together in time of loss. I know it is hard to get adjusted to it.

I am glad that your son did well in his review.

I hope that things will come down for you a little.

Thank you so much for sharing your thankful heart with us this week, despite your challenges and sadness.

Blessings to you and yours.

I remember well when my FIL passed away and how my husband and his brother had to step up to the plate in caring for my MIL. May God continue to give you strength, wisdom, love and perseverance through all that comes your way. Where would we be without his mercies….


Lynn on August 24th, 2007 at 3:30 am #

Maiylah,

This is a neat list. Whew, girl, you both have full plates. Keep your focus on Christ. Philippians 4:13

Thank you.

Praise God that He is our strength. Praying for continued strength for you and your family. Thanks for sharing.Blessings.

I’m sorry about the FIL. Did I say that before already. Can’t remember. But I’m glad about your DH willingly taking over FIL’s responsibilities.

And thanks God your son passed his exam. Every mom -or the parents- deserves a congratulatory handshake everytime their kid does good in school.


Hopeful Spirit on August 24th, 2007 at 12:13 pm #

My condolences on the loss of your father in law. Glad your son did well. Have a wonderful week.

I am sorry for your loss, sometimes it is during those trials God brings the family closer together. I praise God we have each other to lean on! Have a great weekend.
