Week 2 already! Are you finding it difficult to take the time
to write out your thankfulness list each day?
I’ve tried to sit down in the morning and do it after I take the kids to
school…it worked pretty well until the weekend.
On Saturday and Sunday, all bets are off….for everything! Between church, family visits, cleaning and
keeping the kids busy, I usually don’t have a minute to myself until the kids
go to bed. But I have to be flexible
because they are only going to be little once.
If I don’t write it out until night, that’s OK. It doesn’t mean I haven’t thought about it at
all that day – in fact, I usually know exactly what my 4 answers will be
because I’ve been thinking about them all day.
Have a blessed day in
Jesus,
~Heather~
1. Personal
Honestly, I still struggle
with this category. I still feel like
people reading this will think I’m bragging.
It’s something I need to work through.
Today I am thankful that I
can read. You know the bumper stickers, “if
you can read this, thank a teacher”? I
think of that, because reading is a precious gift. I love to read; I always have. In fact, I can remember my parents getting so
mad at dinnertime because they would call and call for me, but I was so
engrossed in a book I didn’t hear them.
I’d try to read at the dinner table, which didn’t usually work J I can finish a
400 page book in 1 day. I just love to
read. I’m thankful for that ability.
2. Work/School
(wherever you spend the majority of your day)
I’m tempted to say I’m thankful
for my warm house again, because it’s so cold here today. It isn’t that it’s so cold, it’s 26 degrees,
but we’ve had such a mild winter this is a rough adjustment! However, I’ll try to be more creative than
that!
I have a cold, so today I’m
thankful that I don’t have to leave my house (except to pick up Evan this
afternoon. That gives me plenty of time
to rest and prepare for the bible study I lead Monday evenings.
3. Church
Today is Monday, the day
of the ladies Bible study I’m involved in.
I’m so thankful for the study, as well as the group of women from the
church who also attend. They are awesome
ladies! We laugh and talk, but we also
have an earnest desire to see God’s best in our lives. I love them all!
4. Family
I am thankful for my
sister Kristin. Kristin teaches Kindergarten,
and I’ve never seen a better teacher!
She is truly doing what God called her to do. She’s married with a little boy, so I know it’s
hard for her to go to work each day. But
she’s a great teacher and an especially great Mom. I’m so blessed to have her as a sister. She has a great heart!
