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 lyrics

Oh, happy day
(oh, happy day)
Oh, happy day
(oh, happy day)
When jesus washed
(when jesus washed)
oh, when he washed
(when jesus washed)
when jesus washed
(when jesus washed)
he washed my sins away!
(oh, happy day)
Ah, happy day
(oh, happy day)
Oh, happy day
(oh, happy day)
oh, happy day
(oh, happy day)
When jesus washed
(when jesus washed)
oh when he washed
(when jesus washed)
when jesus washed
(when jesus washed)
he washed my sins away!
(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)
(in things we say)
(everyday)
Oh, happy day
(oh, happy day)
oh, happy day
(oh, happy day)
When jesus washed
(when jesus washed)
oh, when he washed
(when jesus washed)
when jesus washed
(when jesus washed)
he washed my sins away!
(oh, happy day)
Ah, 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)
(in things we say)
(everyday)
Oh, happy day
(oh, happy day)
oh, happy day
(oh, happy day)
(oh, happy day)
repeat
Oh, happy day
(oh, happy day)
Oh, happy day
(oh, happy day)
When jesus washed
(when jesus washed)
oh, when he washed
(when jesus washed)
when jesus washed
(when jesus washed)
he washed my sins away!
(oh, happy day)
Ah, it's a happy day
(oh, happy day)
oh lord
(oh, happy day)
mmm,good god
(oh, happy day)
oh yeah
(oh, happy day)
mmm, lord
(oh, happy day).

 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

  3. I use and love Mozilla Firefox. You can import your favorites and stored passwords ... it's not complicated. If you'd like, I can provide some step-by-step instructions ... just email what version of Firefox you're using to nanato4ts at charter dot net. ;-)

    It was good to see you over at Life Lessons! You're absolutely right about God's creation being amazing! We found South Africa to be breath-takingly beautiful! We took over 2000 pix and I'm sure we'll be enjoying them for years to come. Have a beautiful weekend, my friend! Hugs and blessings to you!
