Weekly Thankfulness & Growth Report #92

#92 - Weekly Thankfulness & Growth Report

If you were following this blog in 2015 then you will be familiar with my "365 Days of Being Thankful" challenge.  I have missed reporting on my thankfulness since I finished my challenge 2 years ago, so I decided to at least give a weekly Thankfulness Report & include a Growth Report also.  Growth in our Christian walk, growth in the garden & growth on this blog.  Finally, I am also including a "Posts From the Past" feature - ENJOY!


This week I have been thankful for the Thanksgiving Holiday, for the President of the United States and the First Family.  I am most thankful that my Heavenly Father has given me eternal life through Jesus Christ. 


"The Lord is my strength and my shield;  my heart trusts in him, and I am helped, My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song."  Psalm 28:7


 It's Thanksgiving!  - Let's praise God through song:

WELCOME to the 11th "Shop Hopping & Shopping" Linky Party!! 

You might not know that there have been many changes for the small online shop owner over the past year and unfortunately they have not been good changes.  Many online shops have just closed their digital doors and that makes me very sad.  I love all of the creativity out there & wanted a way to help all of the online shop owners with a Linky for shop items only.

Each month I will feature the item from the previous month that received the combined total of the most "likes" & the most "clicks".

The actual item that received the most clicks & likes was sold - so I picked one of my favorite items currently for sale in this wonderful shop:
