March Gratitude/Prayerfulness Challenge

[fidgiegirl]

Great news about your sister, Kat. I will also pray for patience and wisdom in all the other challenges twins will bring! But double the fun . . .

I am thankful today to work in a friendly, encouraging workplace.

[Kat]

Thanks, fidgie. I am thankful today that I have two brand new baby nieces--both healthy as can be! :-) I am also thankful for my MIL. I have been sick with a cough and cold this past week and not getting much sleep. She came over yesterday to watch the baby so I could get some rest. I adore her for a lot of reasons, but her willingness to always step in and help anyone do anything is one of them.

Grateful to have a break from work and responsibilities for a week of spring break.

Praying for my coworker as she continues her journey of grief from losing her husband. Now she is dealing with icky behavior from a family friend who photographed her DD's wedding and it all just seems very unnecessary and upsetting for anyone, but it's like, oh geez, how is it that she is already so fresh after her DH's death and on top of it having to deal with this garbage. Ick.

[Rosemary]

Just learned that a young friend of the family was recently diagnosed with an invasive form of breast cancer. She has a young baby. Please pray for Josie and her family.

[Stella]

Praying for all of your intentions!

Rosemary, that is a scary situation! My little sister has been battling invasive breast cancer for two years and it is such a tough thing to have to go through, especially when you have young children. I'll be praying for Josie and all her family.

Kelli, prayers for healing for your coworker!

Kat, I am so happy for you and your sister! Twins! That is exciting.

FIL is going home tomorrow and I am so thankful he came to visit. Not just because he did a ton of work, either. It was so nice to get to spend time with him and for the kids to get to bond with him. Grandparents are such a treasure in a child's life.

[fidgiegirl]

Praying today for those struggling with cognitive decline, especially if they still have enough function to realize they are losing some (much?) of it, and their families.

[fidgiegirl]

Grandparents are such a treasure in a child's life.

How blessed are your children to be able to interact with their grandpa and that it is positive time. I am thinking of those who cannot see their grandchildren or grandparents because of family dynamics, distance, death or any multitude of factors . . . thinking of one person in particular and extending warm hugs. Perhaps she will see this and be comforted.

[fidgiegirl]

Praying for all my friends here on the boards. I hope you have a restful night, and that your body and soul finds all the nourishment it needs tomorrow and every day thereafter.

[Rosemary]

Thanks, Kelli!

I am very thankful for the turn in the weather, from simply unseasonably warm to insanely warm for the season! And even more - the sunshine that was so lacking all winter. The winter doldrums have left me and I am feeling so much more like doing things. I even got the early vegetables seeded yesterday... about 3-4 weeks earlier than usual.

Hoping that the warm sunshine is helping all the rest of you as well!

[Kat]

I had a case of the grumpies earlier today and forced myself to think of all the blessings in my life. I am thankful for:

a nice home that meets our needs
the flexibility of our jobs
warm, breeze-y, sunshine-y days
a sweet baby girl
a husband who adores me
cupcakes

and that's just the tip of the ice berg! ;-)
