Holy smokes, I'm actually being consistent with a post. It's a miracle! That's something to be thankful for right there! Okay, let's jump right into this bad boy...or should I say good boy? Hmmm...


1. I'm thankful that the Lord holds my tongue against my own wishes sometimes. I had a very ugly run in on the phone the other day with a man, and thankfully I did not stoop down to his level of rudeness. Although, I did vent about it to a few dear friends, I didn't tell him what I thought of him even though he certainly told me what he thought of me. It wasn't pretty, but thank you, Lord for dousing the fire of my tongue with Your water.

2. My bestie, Amber. Sweet Moses, I love that girl. I seriously did not know what it meant to have a best friend until I met her six years ago. We're so similar that I'm pretty sure it freaks out our mothers. We've been told that we have our own language. (We do. It's called Amamberese.) We know what the other is thinking with a look. We've shared each others' burdens through sickness, loved ones deaths, heartaches, and frustrations. We can carry on complete conversations consisting of only movie and TV quotes. "Carnations?!" "Do you dance with all your friends moms?" "I really am ruggedly handsome!" "You've lost your muchness!" "Captain Tightpants." We share a mutual love and adoration of this man:

(The dimples, the smile, the eye crinkles...I swoon...)

I've cried on her shoulder, and dripped snot all over it. A lot of people will let you cry on their shoulder, but drip snot on it? Only a bestie will put up with your boogies.We have a standing Saturday night coffee date where we talk, laugh and carry on (much to the annoyance of our fellow coffee shop addicts, I'm sure). Thanks to her I've gained a sister, a big brother (her hubs, Matt), two nieces and a nephew. Amber is one of my biggest blessings and greatest joys. She's my comrade in arms, partner in crime, and dearest friend.

(Cheesy grins. No charge.)

3. Nutella. Oh, you divine, chocolately, European spread. I love you on toast. I love you on Oreos. I love you on brownies. I love you by the spoonful right out of the jar. 

I'm still not sure if I like the title Thankful Thursday. It seems a bit corny to me. Any suggestions out there? Any thankful thoughts to share? Feel free to comment.
