Thankful Thursday

At a time when parts of the country are experiencing severe flood conditions, I feel kind of weird saying I am thankful for the rain. But here in North Carolina we have been in a drought and really need the rain.
So today I am thankful for the nice long rain we had yesterday.
To any of you who are suffering the effects of flooding, our prayers are with you.



What are you thankful for today?

  1. I'm glad for your area that you received the much needed rain. In the Kansas City, MO area, we've had LOTS of rain. Some of the areas close to us yesterday and last night were hit by more tornadoes. I have a "love-hate" feeling about this time of the year in the mid-west. We always have a mixed bag of weather tricks in May and June. Just when we finally start getting warm, decent temps---we are nailed by floods and winds. Guess that's the price we pay for living in the middle of the USA---but I still love it here and wouldn't trade it for any other spot!

  2. Gosh, I'm thankful for so much! But if I had to pick one thing today I would say my health. There seems to be so much illness that comes up so unexpectedly.

    I love the pics of your flowers after the rain. I hope we won't have a drought like we had last year.

  7. We too have had a slight weather change today, much cooler and a spot or two of rain.
    I am so thankful for my roses right now. I sat out in the garden at 11pm last night, and just breathed in the scents in the evening . What a wonderful God and Creator we have.

  9. Hi Rhondi -
    I'm thankful for the rain that makes my part of the world so beautiful. But I'm thankful that we are supposed to have a few days of sunshine now. And warmth! Most of all I'm thankful for the wonderful friends God give me. That includes you!

  10. Hi Rhondi,
    We are in a drought here is Sunny California. I wouldn't mind a little rain.
    Today I am thankful for hot water.
    We were without hot water yesterday, and you don't realize how you miss it.

  18. We don't get rain in the summer here. It would be nice. We just have to have sprinkler systems for everything or just keep busy watering in order to have a garden and lawn.

    I'm thankful for air conditioning and a good results on my blood test yesterday.

  21. Send some rain my way please - we're desperate after the heat wave!

    About the Digestive biscuits. I always love McVitie's brand, the English original, but they are so expensive when you find them over here. I've see them at World Market and at Kroger where they have the international food section.
    However, about a year ago I found some at our local Lebanese bakery/food shop/restaurant. They are actually baked in Spain and are called SIRO Digestive. I think I like then even better as they are a little thinner and crisper....and only $1.99 a 14 oz. packet!

    Hope your week is going well Rhondi.
