Now, for the real trick, I will resurrect my last Thanksgiving post and place some parts of it in this post because I remember liking what I wrote so much and I think you'll like it again too...at least that's what I tell myself.. :)
I wrote this last year and it applies to this year too:
Too many blessings to count..and if I really did eat them for dinner I would weigh a thousand pounds.
Since last Thanksgiving we have been blessed with another child, my husband's job, and many more things that are too many to sit and write. It's an overflowing cup of love that we call our lives. God does not let us down.
If you did not try a serving of thankfulness this year, go ahead, take a bite, it's delicious and it's the best meal you'll ever eat! It also makes you a better person. My goal for now until next Thanksgiving is to be more thankful, not take anything for-granted, and show my gratitude to others more often!
Wow we've been blessed with ANOTHER child again this year too!
We've also been blessed with my husband's job again, as he was laid off for 2 months and recently back on the work wagon. I love that he works so hard and I don't tell him thank you enough. I'll work on that this year too. :)
And yes, my goal of being more thankful remains the same, because being thankful can never max itself out. It's a never ending goal.
Ok, and one more thing, I'm thankful for this lopsided tree because it means kids are running around helping me decorate!
So, where do you keep your thankfulness?
We can't make our kids be grateful, but you are modeling gratitude and thankfulness and that will build it into your kids. You are working hard at doing things right and letting God work in you, and it's paying off in big and small ways. It's a beautiful thing.
