Okay, soooo I am not a very good blogger. Just a good blog follower and reader.
But I do like to think through my fingers every now and again.
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and there is much to be thankful for.
Mark and I still both have our parents. Our kids are all growing and thriving. Mark is still employed in this awful ecomomy that is a huge blessing. We are able to pay our bills every month. We attend a great church that cares more about it's people then it's image. I am still able to be at home with my little ones and almost keep up with them (ha!). I have great siblings and just got to be with all of them at once (first time in 5 years). I live in a beautiful house that I am still able to keep somewhat clean most of the time! I am involved with two small groups that carry me through the rough patches as we look together toward God and His answers for our lives. I am most thankful for the little things though. The unexpected smile or I love you from my husband. The hug from one of my kids. The lunch dates with old and new friends. The hour to sit and read a book. The ability to remember how blessed I am. The Word made new through the Holy Sprit every time I read it. Insulin. Okay, that one is a love/hate thing, hehe.
So I just realized, as I do every single time I sit down to do this, I could continue this list far past my ability or time to type. I am thankful. Lord, show me how to live out that gratitude and thankfulness ever day.
I am off to shower (what?! it's only 2pm or so?) and make the last grocery store trek before the big meal. I am sad so few are coming but relived at the lesser work load, strange feelings.
Perhaps I will blog again another day. . .
