This week I thank God for:
- My new phone. I just realized that months back I told God that I wanted to buy a new camera and a new iPod video. I could buy them now, of course, by using my credit card. BUT I won't! That'll add up on my credit card debt which I'm trying to pay off the soonest possible time. But God knows what I want (read: not need) and He gave me a phone that has both a camera (better than my old one) and an mp3 player (like that of an iPod). And here's a bonus, it also has a video recorder. All in one. Surely, God knows better.
If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!" Matthew 7:11
- The half sack of rice I received. You see, that's a staple here in the Philippines and the price for this had gone up. Quite a number of people can't even afford to buy this for their family anymore. Then our company has given all its employees half sack of rice for free! Thank you, Lord!
And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:19
- Wisdom. My friend was suppose to give me a pup. A Shih Tzu. I was preparing for it already and I was so excited. But for days I didn't have peace about having a pet at this time in my life. I wouldn't be able to care for it as much I want to because I'm always out. I thank God for the wisdom because if I went along with my plan, it might cause me and the pup more harm than good. I'm sure someone else is there, more equipped, to care for that pup.
If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him." James 1:5For more Thankful Thursday, visit Iris over at Sting My Heart. Have a happy weekend ahead y'all. God bless! =D

Hi Pi,
Great post. Our God is so very good.
what a blessing that a company gave you a sack of rice...God is good!
You are such a blessing, straight from Gods heart.
It is good to give thanks to God, for He has made you glad through His works.
Oh what a WISE young lady you are!
This is such a beautiful list and the scriptures were perfect.
Isn't wonderful to have the perfect road map for our lives, God's word?
Sharing your joy,
Susan
Hey girl! We pray all is well with you.

(((HUGS)))
God's Grace.
Love that about the phone. Our God is such a great provider! Thanks for the visit, and for this great post! Happy TT!
How wonderful for the free rice!! I love how you backed up your "thankfuls" with a verse!
Pia,
You are so wise. Wouldn't we be better if we just didn't want so month and just went with what we needed. We would probably be happier.
Thanks for visiting my blog. When the time comes that you are home more and able to take care of a pup that you are able to get one. That are a joy. Ripley has been quite expensive, but that is not the usual.
You're such a sweetheart.
Blessings!
God knows best. We just have to take time to seek His wisdom. I loved the verses you shared to go along with your list of thankfuls.

Hello, thanks for stopping by my blog. I liked the verses you used with your thankful list! That is so neat God blessed you with the rice.
God is so good, isn't He?
Happy Thankful Thursday!
Pia,
I love your thankful heart and that you see His Word in your life!!! I love how you are giving God the glory! And, I love to see your surrendered heart to the Lord. Not everyone would put off buying something they want. But, look how our good God rewarded you! And, not everyone would change their plans (pet). But, you are listening to the Holy Spirit and that is AWESOME!!!!
You asked on my post what the lilac flowers are. There are lilies and "Angel Face" roses.
God is gracious!
Blessings,

Wonderful blessings! God is so good! Thank you for visiting my blog yesterday.
Have a blessed weekend!
It's great that you have a better phone now. And a half sack rice is definitely a blessing. God is really good.
We lso eat rice everyday for lunch and our prices have also gone up a great deal i bought a 20 pound sack for a cheaper rate last week.
thank y'all for dropping by. may God richly bless you and abundantly. =)
What a generous gift of your company to give you the rice for free. I didn't know that rice got so expensive in your country - sorry to hear that.
Yes, pups do need a lot of time - especially in the beginning...great wisdom God gave you.
Thank you so much for sharing your grateful heart with us.
Blessings to you and your precious family.
Interesting: you're thankful for things you received--and something you didn't!
Thanks for dropping by my blog.
