Thankful Thursday!

Thursday is beginning to be my favorite day of the week. I look forward to what I am going to post on "Thankful Thursday". Even last night at dinner, Mike asked me if I knew what I was going to post for Thursday. Honestly, I don't know what I'm going to write about until I start writing. For several months, I have been praying that I would see the blessings God gives me every day. On Thursday's, I have been reflecting over the week, but it usually is a blessing from today.

I am thankful for our financial situation. A little more than 2 years ago, Mike started listening to Dave Ramsey on talk radio. I started listening as well and we started his Total Money Makeover and we are debt free. We did not call into his radio show and yell, "We're debt free!", but we celebrated on our own. Back in the Fall of 2008 we went to see Dave Ramsey Live with some friends from school.(I'm looking for the pictures we took.) There were 3 couples and as of December 2008 all of us are debt free. I am so thankful that we got our finances under control and now the only debt we have is our house! Being financially responsible has allowed us to keep our Disney World annual passes, enjoy frequent trips to Orlando, and flying to South Carolina.

Now, I know you are wondering what does this have to do with me being thankful today? I am a lifetime member at Weight Watchers(WW) and I have struggled to attend and stay at my lifetime goal for several years. So today, I went back to join Weight Watchers. I was able to join monthly because our finances are in order. This will allow me to have easy access to recipes and other 'etools' to help me reach my goal. I will be adding my weekly weight loss (even if I gain) to my Thursday post. I'm thankful that I can use WW as a tool to take care of my body.

Psalm 107:1 "Oh give thanks to the LORD, for He is good, For His lovingkindness is everlasting." What are you thankful for today?
