Thankful Thursday~~Furry Family!!



Lynn at Unequal Marriage hosts this Thankful Thursday. Hope you will stop by and see what other grateful hearts have to thank God for today!


I don't know about you, but I cannot imagine life without my furry family members!! God really blessed us with three amazing pets!! They have all added so much joy to our home!!! Allow me to introduce them to you!!!

This is Penelope...we call her Penny for short. She is a 3 yo Rat Terrier we bought from a lady in Daytona, and weighs 12 pounds. She is the fastest dog I have seen in person, and is incredibly agile! She is extremely obedient, and such fun to play with.


If you put your hand toward her to pet her she immediately rolls over so you can rub her belly!!

I love this pose! So very dainty!!


Then there is "CRITTA" He is a male seal point Siamese, and along with his stunning good looks, he loves to chase a laser penlight, and play with Penny.

He often jumps up on the chair behind me when I'm on the computer and starts "necking" with me. It is too cute and completely irresistible! He hasn't been brave enough to jump in and play with both the dogs yet.


And finally we have Cooper, who most of you have seen already. We rescued him from a shelter in North Georgia last April, and he is the most wonderful dog. He was going to be euthanized (I'll share the whole story on another post)
and I am so glad that God moved in both my heart and Randy's to make the trip and save him.


Cooper is a Bearded Collie, which is an old British herding breed. He weighs 50 pounds, is medium sized and is the sheer delight of our family and all who come in contact with him.


My hubby likes to pull him up onto his side of the bed in the morning to give him some lovin'. I snapped these yesterday a.m. Randy pulled the covers up over him and he just stayed there! Too cute!!


What is really funny is that he totally has my hubby's temperament! People even say he looks like him.


What more can I say? Thank you Lord, for the gift of these wonderful pets in our lives. Thank you for creating them, and for blessing our world with the wonder of animals we can safely keep in our homes and love!!


PURE JOY!!!

Have you hugged your pets today and thanked God for them??

Have a sunshiney day!!

Thankful Thursday!! I Sometimes Forget To Be Thankful For

Rhondi at Rose Colored Glasses hosts this event so hop on over to visit other grateful hearted folks!


I am thankful for things I sometimes forget to be thankful for...

~~~ Clean air to breathe

~~~ Clean water to drink

~~~ The sun that always rises

~~~ Gravity...that I just don't get launched into space!

~~~ Gas for my car, so I can go, see, do!!

~~~ My PC!! What delight and inspiration my bloggy friends add to my life!!

~~~ The beautiful fingerprint of God Almighty in the petals of a flower

~~~ Waking to birds singing "good morning" each day

~~~ Watching a butterfly flutter by!!
~~~ Toys scattered around...the children who play with them

Hope your Thursday is a thankful, joyful one!!


Blessings,
Becky

Thankful Thursday!!


Today I am switching up a bit and joining in with Thankful Thursday hosted by Rhondi at Rose Colored Glasses Visit her for more inspirational grateful heart posts!


Today I am thankful for so many things....

~~For my God, who loves me inspite of all of my shortcomings, and delights when we visit each day.


~~This amazing sunset!! As I drove into my neighborhood after being too long in WalMart, very tired and just not feeling well in general, this is what met me!!

I sighed, took a deep breath, and in my heart whispered, "Thank you Lord".


This is the same sunset, I just couldn't fit it all in the shot



~~I'm thankful for God's tender loving care, and how He meets my needs so fully and at just the right moment. Who can resist a Savior like that?


~~I'm thankful for my darling , lovable, manly man husband who God gifted me with way back in sixth grade. Who would have ever thought I'd marry "Stringbean", my sixth grade crush?? God knew!!


~~I surely cannot leave this out...I'm finding a deep sense of connection in the community of Christ that God has blessed me with through this thing called a "blog" . Even in this blog He is meeting needs I didn't know I had.

Praise God from Whom ALL blessings flow!!!

Have a lovely, joy-filled day!

Blessings,
Becky
