Weekly Thankfulness & Growth Report #118

#118 - 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 my cousin and time spent together.  I am thankful for modern conveniences like air conditioners and freezers.  I am most thankful that God created a beautiful world where we are able to grow and harvest food from plants!

This post is part of a monthly series called "Old Fashion Sunday Hymn Sing" - five years ago we featured this amazing hymn -
Read: Blessed Assurance, Jesus Is Mine!


Just a few more rows of planting to go!  Next onto weeding (which never ends).

This week I have been thankful for family.  I am thankful for the lifelong Christian example of a friend who is now in the arms of Jesus.  I am most thankful that God has provided a way for us to spend eternity with Him!

"Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, 'Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.'  So we say with confidence, The Lord is my helper;  I will not be afraid.  What can man do to me?"  Hebrews 13:5 & 6
This is one post in a series on this blog that I wrote a few years ago.  It is specifically for those who have not been blessed with children - Please read:

We are getting near the end of planting season.   We still have many of our tomatoes to plant and a few other seeds but soon all we will have to do is weed (hahaha - that is a never-ending job).

Four years ago I did a series called "Living a Childless Life" - this post is all about loneliness.

We had a good start to our yard waste burning - we only have 2 months out of each Spring season to burn our tree cuttings and shrubs.  We always reserve any sticks/twigs that we might be able to use in our garden this summer.
