Thursday Thirteen ~ "J"

Time for a Thursday Thirteen post! Missed a few weeks but we'll pick up where we left off by listing thirteen things in my life that begin with the letter "J". I like to think of them as thirteen blessings~ so here goes:

1. John - the BEST dad in the world's name ~ mine! Isn't it funny how we all think ours is the best? ;) John is also Benji's first name and his paternal great-grandfather's name.

2. Jack - the funniest and most spoiled donkey that ever lived. He was my Papa's pet and they made quite the pair.

3.January - the month of my birth.

4.Jesus - my VERY BEST FRIEND, my Saviour and soon coming King!

5. Joy - "I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart! Down in my heart to stay!"

6. Juice - guava is my favorite but I enjoy just about any fruit juice.

7. Jigsaw puzzle - it's such a fun challenge to put them together.

8. Job- my favorite is the one I hold now - wife and mother. I've been a receptionist in an orthodontist office, nanny, governess, teller, department manager, clerk, store owner, and Sunday School teacher but the one with the greatest outcome is mother and I LOVE it!

9. Jam - Strawberry Freezer Jam! Mmmmm! I'm getting quite the crop of strawberries this year from my garden and we're enjoying the best strawberry jam!

10.Johnny Jump-ups, Jonquils and Jasmine- Such lovely flowers God's given us to enjoy!

11.Jazz - I REALLY enjoy some easy jazz music - especially sax. OOOOO!

12. Jet - Now I can really get into flying! I longed to be a stewardess when I was a little girl so I could fly all over, all the time!

13.James - both my husband and my oldest son's middle name. My husband was named for his maternal grandfather, James Albight.

What would I do without all these delightful blessings?

Isn't God good!

He's so graciously poured out so many extras for our enjoyment!

May you enjoy a jubilant and joyous day in Jesus!
