I am thankful....

Thursday, May 03, 2012




~ I just had to stop in the middle of this Thursday & give thanks!

~ I am thankful for the state of Texas, and the freedom to home school my children....in the way I choose. I LOVE my job!
Because of this freedom, I am able to worship the Lord with my children in the middle of our school day. I am able to teach them truths from God's Word.

~ Today we drove to our church to pray as today is the "National Day of Prayer"....wonderful experience for my children.
It was great see other members already gathered around the clock to pray.






~ I am so thankful to live in the USA! emoticon So thankful for the freedoms we have!
So thankful for those that gave their lives for us that we might have freedom.

~ My children recently took a field trip to Dallas/Fort Worth with another class of 5th & 6th graders to 2 museums...a full day of learning! I don't take these liberties for granted.

~ I am thankful for this emoticon website. emoticon
I love the People BEST here at SP.... my life has been changed because of others who caught the Spark. It is my lifestyle...a freedom I am thankful for daily.

~ This lifestyle is CoNtAgIoUs!! ....so be careful or you might catch what I have! LOL!! emoticon emoticon

~ Mostly, I am thankful for Jesus & the country which is my true home, Heaven.
...the price that was paid for me so that I might inherit Heaven. I owe my heart to Jesus.....and my temporary life here is His too.





Wow! So much to be thankful for! Please remember to pray today.

    To God be glory for the freedom we have found in Him. Without his gift of Jesus we would not have the true freedom found in Christ. I am thankful that I can support those who protect our freedoms and that is our miltary and their families. I serve in a school where most have one or two parents gone for any length of time. I am thankful for their sacrifices. Their families give up so much so the miltary member can serve.

Yes, I am thankful along with you Laura!

    I can always count on you for a true thankfulness blog and for that I say thank you. Every day is a reason for us to give thanks and for that I say Praise God!

You are God's precious child who has shared the most gorgeous of God's light with us through your thanksgiving. May His favor bless your life richly!

    Praising the Lord with you today!
So glad you have these great freedoms and so glad that you are not taking them for granted. So many Americans have absolutely no idea what freedoms they have which are denied to so many people around the world. I can only imagine it! So amazing. Thank you for training up the next generation!

Ditto on the homeschooling - it's illegal in Germany, can you imagine in such a supposedly progressive country?

    Living outside the USA, I know just how much those freedoms mean, especially as those that homeschool in my country suffer persecution and over 70% have no belief in God.
It is always good to reflect and be thankful.

    I praise the Lord for these words of thankfulness from you Laura.
I too am so so thankful for our freedom to express words of praise to God and for being able to raise children in our homes learning about God, country and the Lord Jesus. My two youngest gs love Bible most!! Now they are in a Charter school and do not have Bible at all. They are learning though and God is still in their hearts. emoticon Thanks for sharing your thankfulness and joy!! emoticon emoticon emoticon emoticon emoticon emoticon emoticon emoticon emoticon emoticon emoticon emoticon

The United States of America is founded on the word of our Lord and is the greatest nation besides Jerusalem and Israel.

The there is Jesus, Jesus, Jesus and more of Jesus and just Jesus and His name says and has it all

emoticon emoticon emoticon emoticon emoticon

Praise our Lord and Savior for going all the way and finishing and full filling the curse of the Law.

I am a radical Jesus lover and American citizen and just loving my life.

Your blog got me all fired up LOL

    Laura,

An awesome blog!!! I live in Indiana and the USA is a wonderful place to live and raise our children and grandchildren. While I did not home school my children I'm glad that you have that choice. We sent our children to our Catholic school. It is wonderful that they can have that time to learn to love our God!

    Laura,
Just praising the Lord with you for I am so very Blessed.God continually pours mercy & grace over me. What would I do without Him? I don't even want to think about that.


I don't live in Texas but I'm happy to live in Alabama.

Love you, Teresa
