Pforever Thankful Friday

My intention yesterday was to do a Thankful Thursday post. But, sad to say, Thursday got away from me and this morning, I tried to think of any thankful word beginning with an F so I could do a __________ Friday!! All I could come up with was Pforever thankful Friday! The P is silent, as in pshaw, pfft, and I don't know of any others (well, there is that very familiar Pfizer word)!! I just made up the Pforever!!! But you knew that, didn't you?

I'm so thankful and grateful and this month of September reminds me of many things I have to be thankful for, although every day there is much to be grateful about and sing praise to the Lord. But this week, September 7 was the 35th anniversary of my meeting Dear Heart, and marked the beginning of many wonderful changes to my life! So thankful for the years we had together and I'll forever be grateful to a friend who insisted I go with her to learn to two-step and that my Dear Heart was there that night, too. Not a day goes by without my remembrances of my Jay, and I'm thankful for his family and me to still be connected so closely and the love we have for each other.

Forever in my heart!

This always made us laugh!

And tomorrow marks ONE YEAR since I moved and have been living here in Tulsa. There have been many events which have transpired over this past year, and I am delighted with all the new friends I have been making and the things I have had the opportunity to be involved with. Every week just seems to fly by with activities and the lonely times are fewer and further between. 

Being here closely connected with my siblings is also good and they have been my support system and fun buddies! All that I get to do I appreciate:

My family

My church

Life Group

My neighborhood and its residents

Exercise group

Volunteer Mondays

Being a member of the ladies organization supporting the Tulsa Boys Home

Being a leader in AWANAS

Bible Study Fellowship

T-Town Uke group (which just gets more and more fun)!!

pickleball,

And resuming old friendships from over 50 years ago!

So many blessings, I can't count them.

In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
