It has been one week since Thanksgiving, and I want to keep this spirit of gratitude. I don't want to be thankful for things at Thanksgiving alone, but every day and so I have decided to make "Thankful Thursdays" a part of my weekly blog posts. Even if I haven't had a wonderful week, there are always things to give thanks for.
We kept a thankful jar over the past few weeks and we all took turns writing things down that we are thankful for and putting them in the jar. The kids all loved it and came up with great ideas. We read them on Thanksgiving evening. I think the jar needs to stay out as a constant reminder of how blessed we are.
This is my first Thankful Thursday list of gratitude:
1. Matt's new job! So exciting!
2. Healthy and happy children.
3. Amazingly supportive friends and family.
4. The unconditional love of our Heavenly Father.
5. New beginnings. His mercy is new every morning.
6. Real Estate. It's been challenging, but it's beginning to be fruitful. I learn so much every day.
7. Our church. So many beautiful people looking after us and loving us.
8. Our home. It's a haven from the world and a place where we can let down our guard. There is no arguing, just acceptance.
9. My marriage. I have never been more happy or felt more loved.
10. Trials and challenges. They help us grow and teach us so much.
