It's Thanksgiving week people!! I'm SO excited! I absolutely love the holidays!! They are nostalgic for me, and a time where, of course, I reminisce about all the great things God has done in my life.
This year, I'm obviously looking forward to all the amazing food coming 😋 My personal favorite is my mom's scalloped corn - yum! What's your favorite dish? My husband's favorite pie is Blueberry. I think I share my dad's favorite of strawberry rhubarb, but a good apple pie is a close second doused in Cool Whip. 😆
Of course, Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful, begun by the pilgrims that originally began the founding of our country. For them, I am thankful. I am thankful that they trusted that God is better and bigger than all their hardships that they endured. I'm grateful that they desired to raise their children in a place free from opposing cultures' views. I'm thankful for this country - having been born here and raised in the very foundations the purpose of this country was begun: to glorify God.
There are so many personal things to be thankful for… honestly I'm so overwhelmed with God's blessings. I told my husband the other day that I felt rich. We're not rich, but I feel rich with how much God is blessing us.
Here's a short list:
- My home is amazing and renovated how we wanted
- I have a super loving husband
- I have an affectionate daughter
- I get to stay home and raise her
- I get to write books for my God and the age groups I feel are lacking good reads
- I have another child on the way, I get to feel the child grow within me
- God loves me
- Jesus saved me!
- I have great neighbors
- I don't starve for lack of food
- I am amply provided for (needs and even small splurges)
- super comfy bed 😜
- my husband and I go on dates
- I have family close by for babysitting
- I have family all around that love me and are all Christians (that I know of)
- I'm a fourth generation Christian
- I have a great church to go to that loves serving God and others
- I get to be a blessing in areas in my church
- People actually read my blog 😉
This is truly a “short” list. I really could go on forever thanking God for the life He's blessed me with! I'm living my dream life - not without its difficulties - but pretty perfect this side of Heaven. ❤️
People what are you thankful for?
Monday Motivation:
List what your thankful for. Stop, take a breather from the business of this time of year, and give thanks. It's necessary if we're really going to enjoy the life we're given. I hope reading through some of my blessings didn't make you envious, but instead caused you to think of the things in your life that you're thankful for. 😉
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!!
