Today Iris from Grace Alone is hosting our Thankful Thursday. I am thankful for the ladies who host this theme each week.  It's been awhile since I did a TT post, mainly because Thursday mornings are rushed for me and often I will post on Wed. night and it just slips my mind.  I also have had issues with Internet Explorer so started using Mozilla; all of my favorites arn't there, so it is easy just to forget.  To forget about His blessings, may it never be.  One of the greatest joys in my spirit is when I wake up with a praise song on my lips; today was such a day.  Many of you will immediately know this song, so won't you lift your voice this morning with me.

(oh, happy day)
Ah, it's a happy day
(oh, happy day)
(he taught me how)
he taught me how
(to watch)
(fight and pray)
(fight and pray)
(and he'll rejoice)

 I don't remember when I first heard this song, probably either in elementary school or high school but I still love it.  Maybe it was from the movie  Lillie's of the Field or Sister Act, but I can still picture the scene in my mind.  Hope your heart is singing today.  Don't forget to stop by and say hi to Iris, http://www.eph2810.com.
Joy to you,  Noreen
