Thanksgiving is this week! We have so much to be thankful for, but often we don't realize it or we forget our many blessings. We take them for granted. Today I want to begin to count my blessings...
1. My husband- the love of my life. We have had our difficulties (neither of us is perfect, but we are forgiven and forgiving!)
2. My children- God gives us children to teach us about life, love, and perseverance!
3. My grandchildren- They are a do-over and sweet revenge on my children. They make me smile!
4. Family and friends- You know who you are...
5. A home in the country
6. Food! And almost always I enjoy cooking.
7. Books- I love to read, maybe more than eating :-)
8. Homeschooling- I enjoy teaching my children and I enjoy continually learning!
9. Writing- I need to write and I have the tools to do it.
10. My computer and my i-phone
11. A van to take me places
12. Motorcycles
13. Vacations
14. My husband's job
15. Hope- because of faith in Jesus
16. And so much more... I could never say all the things I am thankful for. It is so healing to count blessings and to see how much we have. A grateful heart is rarely a discontent heart. I will choose gratitude because it brings joy and I love to have joy in my heart!
