"Thankful"

Happy Easter Monday and Earth Day to all the beautiful people.
You deserve a card today (smile).  My inspiration comes from "inside joy", the kind that you feel in your heart.  I'm thankful for sharing and participating in  making others happy in the last couple of days.  Now, the card is made and I feel good about it.  I cannot send it to myself so it will be shared again with someone else.
God is so good!  I'm thankful!
On Friday evening my husband and I ventured out  to a church service in the storm that was developing in the atmosphere.  Just before leaving home, the weather report was issuing a tornado watch for a town near our location.  As the service started, the lights flickered several times and initially went out for the duration of the program.  Most people were using the light on their phones to see.  We left and came home to lights and the evidence of heavy rain while we were gone.
On Saturday, my husband went to the area where the tornado had been forecast the night before.  There was evidence of trees twisted and  broken  but no damage to homes.  The report given on the evening news affirmed that a tornado had hit that area.
We were in the middle of a storm that was happening  five miles before and five miles behind  the church we attended on Friday night and the most we can say is that the lights went out.  There was no evidence of strong winds, heavy rain, lightning or thunder while we sat in church.
What an amazing God we serve. I'm thankful!
He didn't allow any damage to come into the area we were in.
On Sunday, everyone who had attended that service talked about how good/great the service was.  I commented and said, "It was what the LORD wanted.  He wanted us to sit in quiet to hear from HIM through the mouths of the people who spoke.  Man can't plan for something like that to happen again because it will not be the same".
I'm thankful for God's grace and mercy!

Here is the card I'm sharing:

"Who Or What Are You Thankful For?"

Hello to Everyone on this Tuesday, January 30, 2018.
Well, we have one more day before we can say hello to February...the "heart" month.  It's moving...the time...even if you are not ready for it.  (Time waits for no one).

Usually around Thanksgiving we begin to say what we are thankful for.  I've always grew up with the thought that you should find someone or something to be thankful for each day.  If that is too long, then, each hour or each minute.  Family members, friends, co-workers and neighbors are leaving us everyday.  Stop and appreciate someone before they are no longer here.

That's the question I'm asking you today and no, it is not Thanksgiving...the holiday.  It is a day that we should find thankfulness in someone or something.  Who or what are you thankful for?

Since my DH's operation on last Monday, he says "I'm thankful for you" each time I do something for him in helping with his recovery.  I've said to him, "Thank God first and me second".  If it wasn't for the LORD, I don't know what we would do.  So, I'm thankful to God for seeing us up and down the highway without hurt, harm or danger, getting back and forth to his appointments.  We have two more this week before starting on that same journey next week.
I've been meeting a lot of nice people in the last two weeks and I'm thankful to them also for their concerns and offering Christian support.

Here is a little card I made toward my blog title today.
Enabler's List:
cardstock: Neenah white; Bristol white (smooth); Recollections beige, light blue and black.

Even though I don't know you personally...I'm thankful for your love, your comments and your support you've shown me over the years. (Some of you have been with me for a long time).

Thanks for viewing my creation today.
Your comments  are much appreciated and are always welcome.
Please come again.  I enjoy your company.

Sending you a hug and LOVE,
