Thanksgiving 2011

A few of the many things I give thanks for.

Thanksgiving Challenge: Day 7, 8, 9 & 10!

I know I've been lagging in my blogging of thankfulness, but I haven't been lagging in the actual thankfulness...

Ok, maybe it's been a little bit harder this week to find the things I'm thankful for. It's been a rough week. The Lord is doing some serious sifting in my life and can I just say it hurts, a lot. But it's a good pain. A pain I may find hard to be thankful for today but I know I'll be grateful when I see the fruits of His work in me!

So on to my thankfulness:

Day 7:

I'm thankful that this heartburn, among other uncomfortable pregnancy symptoms, is only temporary!

Day 8:

I'm thankful for my 2yr old daughter who keeps me laughing even when parenting challenges arise. Her 

reason for taking all her clothes off in her crib? She needs to go in the swimming pool, of course!!

Day 9:

I'm thankful for 2 out of 3 working toilets and being caught up on laundry!

Day 10:  

I am so thankful for a beautiful day to take the littles to the park and get some fresh air today! We all needed it :)

Thanksgiving Challenge: Day 6

Today I'm thankful for my church family and all the amazing things that the Lord is doing through the people. I love that they are just about sharing Jesus, nothing else. I'm thankful for the sound biblical teaching no matter who is at the pulpit and that I am constantly being encouraged in things of the Lord in what ever I'm goin through.

Thanksgiving Challenge: Day 5

I am so very thankful for a loyal, steady, helpful, handsome husband.

Yesterday he surprised me with starting the crock pot dinner before going in to work while I ran errands with the littles. He even left me a sweet note of encouragement.

I love you, Brandon.

Thanksgiving Challenge: Day 4

Since I missed a day...

I am thankful to have another day to be thankful!

AND

I am thankful for the hope of Jesus and his return to come and take me home and be with Him!

Maranatha!!

Thanksgiving Challenge: Day 2

Plenty of snow on the ground and more coming down

baked potato soup in the crock pot

and a day playing inside with my littles

  thats what I'm thankful for today!

Thanksgiving Challenge: Day 1

I'm taking the idea of expressing my gratitude for a different thing each day of this month from Kristen over at We are THAT family's blog. Just like her, I want to take time to acknowledge something I'm thankful for, even if it's just a sentence.

On this chilly first day of November, I am thankful for a warm house and a cozy bed and a hot meal.

What are you thankful for?
