What am I thankful for ?

Yesterday was Thanksgiving in the USA, it is a day thatI have taken part in a couple of times.

It seems to be as big if not bigger than Christmas is in the UK minus the gifts.

It made me think about things that I am thankful for.

Yes obviously I am thankful for my family from Aunty Jean the oldest member right down to the youngest member Arthur.

I am also obviously thankful for my faith and the ability to be openly Christian .

Ok so they are the two big things in my life but what about the smaller things my home for instance?

I am now living in a wonderful house  that is rented and not mine but I love it and I am thankful that it meets the needs of Hannah and I.

Ok my home is quite a big thing to be thankful for , what about my car ?

Yes I am thankful for that , without it I would be virtually housebound.

Ok something smaller my dog well actually the four pets I currently share my home with . Yes I am thankful for them they make me smile when I am sad.

Something much smaller that I am thankful for is my DAB radio, something so small but used every day to listen to UCB uk, A Christian radio station that is my companion night and day .

I am thankful for my increasing knowledge in sewing , hopefully this will lead me to creating personal gifts for people.

I am Thankful that I don't live in a land blighted by tornadoes whirlwinds and other such destroying weather conditions.

My IPad is something I could live without but I am so thankful that I do not have to .

And whilst there are many things missing from this list, it would be remis of me not to mention friends in my Thankful list .

I am truly thankful for friends who have been there through my thick and thin highs and lows.

I have given this post a new label and who knows maybe I will add to it in the future 

B is not for ......................Edenhouse

Ok here we go again, we are now on round eight of Alphabet Thursday , where has the time gone.

At the moment this is the only day I blog , I really need to get organised and get more blogging done. 

Any way enough if only's, this round I am going to attempt to share with you My favourite films.

These are a few of my favourite Films 

Ok this week was easy to decide , I have loved Babe since I first read the book by Dick King Smith.

The book was released in 1983 and I read it to a child I was a nanny for. 

Then in 1995 the film came out .

It was read by my eldest who then watched the film at the cinema. I am not sure when the video arrived in the house but it was watched and watched . Then DVDs arrived and yes it was purchased in that format.

Babe is about a pig with attitude and surprise surprise he talks. It really is an endearing film and loved by adults and children alike.

If a farming film with a pig that can herd sheep appeals to you then all I can say is in the boredom post Christmas go and get a copy of this film.

Thank you for visiting 

Ok well I am off to Jenny'sJenny class and see what other people have come up with .

Well here we are at the last letter of round seven of Alphabet Thursday. I would at this point like to say a huge thank you to Jenny for her commitment to weekly set us all off on our journey of exploration around blog land.

I would also like to say thank you to all the people who have left much appreciated comments.

Once again I ask for advise on improving my blog.

As I am partially disabled and spend most of my day at home , my blog is my connection to the world.anyway enough drivel .

At this moment in time I do not personally know anyone with a Z name, I have however taught a Zachary.

One day in the hopefully not to distant future I may have a Zachary or Zoe for a grandchild how amazing would that be.

Any way Aurevoir for now my blog friends I hope we have a round 8 and as I type I am trying to think of a theme.

As for now I am of for the last time in round seven to try and visit each and every contributor to this Jenny's blog class and leave a comment.Jenny

Oh yes I am doing films in the next round 

Y is not for...........Edenhouse

                                      

Ok well here we are at the penultimate letter of round seven of Alphabet Thursday .

Yet again I do not know anyone personally with a name beginning with Y.

Sadly I have been unable to locate any biblical character whose name starts with Y either.

I do know and did meet about thirty two years ago a friend of my aunts daughter called Yolanda but it was so long ago .

I am now off to see what I can learn on this alphabetical journey.

Please pop over nod see Jenny here  

X is not for ..........Edenhouse.

                                        

Ok I am a week late with my X. Please forgive me I have been in France with my daughters and a son in law.

 I was actually looking forward to contributing on X as I knew right from A that for X I was going to tell you about a biblical king called Xerses. 

To find about Xerses the great you need to read Esther 1. Interesting character .

As I do not know him personally I do not feel able to make comments about him.

I am now off to find out what other people have contributed to Alphabet Thursday .
