For those of you who know me, you know that Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday (followed very closely by Christmas). There is nothing about autumn and Thanksgiving that I dislike. I try with all my might to be thankful and to think grateful thoughts all season.
If you read my blog at the end of last month, I started out on a quest to be grateful. I listed things like family and friends, fresh cut grass, books, babies, etc. So, I decided that this month I would actually track something I was thankful for each day. I may repeat myself a bit from last blog, but here’s my 30 Days of Thanksgiving:
1. Jesus/God
2. Bible/God’s Word
3. Holy Spirit/wisdom
4. Billy
5. Beau
6. Sarah
7. Jesse
8. My sisters/sisters-in-law
9. The rest of my family
10. Freedom in the U.S.
11. My church family at FBC esp. Brad & Carrie
12. My home
13. Our working vehicles (not so grateful for the one that’s not working)
14. Our jobs in education
15. FGE & SWAY & Sustained Momentum
16. Becca M./Courageous Missionaries
17. Our grandparents/parents
18. Access to education
19. Heaven/Eternal life/Forgiveness
20. Baseball/the Smell of fresh cut grass
21. Caramel apples
22. Dreams & Goals & Giftings
23. Music
24. Snowflakes
25. New recipes
26. Books
27. Nature/Hummingbirds/Fall leaves/Sunbeams
28. Restaurant Gift Cards
29. Friends/Re-connecting with old friends
30. Life and breath
I hope you found yourself on this list in a specific way! Because it’s true – I’m thankful for you. I pray that you will be inspired to be grateful everyday for all the blessings that the Lord has so mercifully given to you as well. God bless you!
